I reckon the statistic is skewed by the inclusion of women over 80 who are widowed or otherwise single. I want the percentage of 80 year olds with committed partners who are sexually active!

You mean, the number with committed partners where the partner can still do it. Maybe what you want to know is the percentage of women over 80 who have access to a willing, able partner if they want it.

Never realized how many get injured during sex; if I did I don't think I would necessarily mention it a medical provider.

As for sex over 80, I am surprised, perhaps the stat also includes solo play.
