Participants were included if they were aged 50–70 years; had provided consent to be trained and serve as a volunteer for at least 2 h per week for 6 months; had at least 3 years of secondary school education; had no severe self-reported physical, mental, or cognitive health problems; were not working full or part-time; had engaged in formal volunteering fewer than four times within the past year; and were lonely (ie, had a score of at least 6 on the three-item UCLA Loneliness Scale). Participants were allocated into either the volunteering or control group (psychoeducation programme) using a random number method. The details of group allocation were concealed as the research assistant responsible for randomisation was different to the research assistants responsible for recruitment and assessments (who were masked to the condition). Following a 6-week training, the volunteers delivered a psychosocial intervention to older intervention recipients for 6 months. The primary outcome was loneliness measured with the 20-item UCLA Loneliness Scale and the De Jong Gierveld (DJG) Loneliness Scales at 6 months and 12 months. Assessments were performed before training (baseline; T1), at 6 months (T2), and at 12 months after training (T3). The intention-to-treat principle was used to compare the effects of volunteering between the two groups.

We focused on identifying specific patterns of variation in mortality rates across different age groups, sexes, and income levels based on World Bank country classification. We analysed temporal trends and patterns using a locally weighted scatter plot smoother curve presented by age-standardised mortality rates (ASMRs), and future projections were calculated based on Bayesian age–period–cohort analysis. We performed a decomposition analysis to identify variations in fall-related deaths by examining factors such as population growth, ageing, and epidemiological changes.</div></div><div><h3>Findings</h3><div>Fall-related mortality rates per 100 000 people declined from 23·21 (95% CI 21·30 to 25·12) in 1990 to 11·01 (9·94 to 12·08) in 2009, increasing to 12·50 (10·36 to 14·64) by 2021. Throughout the period from 1990 to 2021, fall-related mortality rates were consistently higher among men, individuals in high-income countries, and older adults. The results represent a clear pattern in fall-related mortality rates according to sex, income level, and age group. ASMRs exhibited varying patterns, with an initial decrease of 43·83% (from 11·54 [95% CI 9·33 to 13·76] in 1990 to 6·48 [95% CI 5·28 to 7·68] in 2005) in upper-middle-income countries with a subsequent rise of 49·69% to 9·70 (9·33 to 13·76) in 2021, with a 17·81% increase among women (from 9·04 in 2009 to 10·65 in 2021), and with a 1434·8% increase in individuals aged 85 years and older (from 5·00 [−4·94 to 14·94] in 1992 to 76·74 [62·10 to 91·39] in 2021). Furthermore, ASMRs showed a positive correlation with Socio-demographic Index (β=42·29 [10·26 to 74·32]; p<0·011), the Environmental Performance Index (β=0·19 [0·05 to 0·33]; p=0·0090), and the reverse Gini coefficient (β=22·58 [0·45 to 44·72]; p=0·046). Projections indicate that the fall-related mortality rate is expected to rise from 14·80 (95% credible intervals, 14·04 to 15·59) per 100 000 people in 2021 to 19·48 (7·02 to 98·84) by 2040.

This Review identified the major health needs of older people across humanitarian contexts, including non-communicable diseases and mental health conditions (eg, psychological distress and depression). Barriers to health care of older people included inaccessibility of health-care services; shortage of appropriate health care; insufficient availability of medications and medical equipment; poor geriatric expertise of health-care staff, health policy makers, and health authorities; and age discrimination by health-care personnel. Individual factors included low mobility, poor health literacy, dependence on others for access to care, and self-directed ageism. The participation of older people in shaping health-care services was highlighted as a facilitator of age-inclusive care. Several understudied areas related to the health needs of older people in humanitarian emergencies in low-income and middle-income countries were exposed. We urge governments, academic institutions, humanitarian organisations, and other health-care providers to focus their response and research efforts on the health needs of older people in conflict settings; the health needs of older people in humanitarian emergencies in understudied regions; and on neglected issues such as communicable diseases, cancer, neurocognitive disorders, sexual and reproductive health, genitourinary conditions, and nutrition.
