An August 10, 2006 report from the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), published by the CDC, provides the rate of nonfatal injuries in the US to those 65 years of age and older due to falls, where a medical professional was seen for treatment or advice, either in person or by telephone. 

This chart shows the rate of events per 1,000 population in each respective age group.

In those 75-84, women have significantly more of these types of fall injuries (nonfatal, medically attended) than men in the same age group. This significant difference can be seen in the chart. Note the thin bars above the columns for the 75-84 year old males and females. The range of the thin bars (95% confidence intervals) do not overlap. Therefore, we can be fairly confident that, based on the sampling done, the underlying population rate of nonfatal falls among females 75-84 is greater than the rate for men of the same age.

The rate of nonfatal falls for 65-74 year olds was slightly higher among females than males, but the difference is not statistically significant based on the figure below. (Note the overlapping 95% confidence interval bars.)
