Results: The study investigated a total of 6,245 elderly people, including the number of injuries occurred within one year 278, and the incidence of injuries was 4.45%. Men was 4.22%, and female injury rate of 4.68%, the difference was not statistically significant (χ 2 = 0.80, P gt; 0.05); older persons in rural areas injury incidence of 5.03%, 3.10% of the incidence of urban areas , the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 11.36, P lt; 0.05). Injury incidence rate for all age groups was not statistically significant (χ2 = 0.55, P gt; 0.05). Elderly the top five causes of injuries according to the size of the incidence followed by falls (2.79%), road traffic injuries (0.73%), animal bites (0.35%), sharp injuries (0.16%) (0.11, hit by a hard object %).
