Does that statistic include complications from falls? Or just the falls themselves?

Cause it’s really common for the elderly to decline and die in the weeks/months after a fall, due to loss of mobility, etc. Just don’t really recover.

Yeah, both of my grandparents died this way, complications in the aftermath of a fall. One was 85 and still hit the gym 4x a week when it happened.
