0 to 16 years of age are most frequently affected.<br />
Accidents or violations in the accident segments<br />
«Broken glass, sheetmetal», «Animals» and<br />
«Equipment, tools, appliances, machinery» are<br />
most frequently registered in the age category 26-<br />
to 45-years old.<br />
The generally largest population-related incidence<br />
as a function of accident segment and age<br />
group is in the 0- to 16-year-olds, who suffer<br />
injuries from falls. The second highest incidence<br />
noted is among senior citizens and is also in the<br />
«Falls» accident segment. The age group of 0- to<br />
16-year-olds also shows the highest populationrelated<br />
incidence for a further seven accident segments<br />
in each case. In the 26- to 45-year-old age<br />
group, the highest incidence is only in the «Animals»<br />
accident segment.<br />
4.3.3 Material cost<br />
Costs caused by falls generate the largest share of<br />
the overall costs of CHF 4730m. Almost two<br />
thirds of all accident costs (65%) in the home and<br />
leisure sector are attributable to the «falls» accident<br />
sector. The relevance of the costs of injuries<br />
caused by broken glass and sheetmetal (7%) as<br />
well as by the other accident segments is much<br />
lower. Most costs are caused in the adult age<br />
group (CHF 2411m). In the analysis of injury severity,<br />
it is noticeable that serious injuries (injuries<br />
with hospitalization for 7 or more days) account for<br />
the largest single cost (CHF 1422m). The average<br />
case costs for injuries in the home and leisure<br />
sector rise with increasing age. While the case<br />
costs for children are at CHF 2109, they amount in<br />
adulthood to almost 4 times as much (CHF 7979)<br />
and in old age to more than 10 times as much<br />
(CHF 22 923).<br />
