Impact of home and leisure accident rates on disability and costs of long-term care in spain according the Edad 2020 survey

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Home and leisure accidents (HLAs) are one of the main causes of mortality attributable to causes other than aging and have a major impact on health systems. However, to date, studies  measuring  their  socioeconomic  impact  are  limited,  unlike  those  associated  with other causes such as accidents on the roads or in the workplace. We seek to analyze the long-term care (LTC) needs associated with HLAs in Spain using data from the recent EDAD 2020 survey. We conclude that the care needs derived from such accidents increase with age. The significant annual economic costs of HLAs in Spain, amounting to 2,158 million euros in 2020 or 0.19% of GDP, underscore the necessity to back preventive policies and to  encourage  insurance  products  that  provide  coverage  for  disabilities  resulting  from  accidents at home and during leisure activities in general
