Women are more likely to seek medical care for musculoskeletal injuries that occur from a fall, accounting for as much as 60% of hospital discharges for musculoskeletal injuries. Musculoskeletal injuries to men are more likely to be the result of trauma or an accident, accounting for about 60% of emergency department visits by men. Sports injuries and other causes of injuries occur in relatively similar proportions to both men and women. (Reference Table 9A.6 PDF CSV)
