- W86673476 abstract "Several types of fractures among the elderly are usually due to a fall. Fall-related injuries are the leading cause of mortality by unintentional injuries among adults aged 65 years and older in the United States. Falls are also the leading cause of non-fatal injuries among the elderly. An estimated 5–10% of those over age 75 visit a hospital emergency department each year for treatment of a fall-related injury; about one-third are subsequently hospitalized. Most falls in the elderly are probably due to both intrinsic (host) and extrinsic (environmental) factors. Although there has been a great deal of progress in the identification of intrinsic risk factors, investigation of extrinsic factors remains more limited. Environmental factors are thought to be particularly important in falls among the more active elderly, whereas intrinsic factors may play more of a role among the frail elderly. In studies of risk factors for falls, a fall is usually defined as “an event that results in a person coming to rest inadvertently on the ground or other lower level.” Falls due to an overwhelming force or event, such as a motor vehicle accident or loss of consciousness, are usually excluded. Early research on the identification of fall risk factors has been focused on all falls, despite the fact that the majority of falls do not result in injury. Some researchers suggest that fall-related serious injury, not falls per se, is the significant outcome measure and, thus, research and preventive actions should focus on risk factors for injurious falls. However, it is plausible that efforts to reduce falls in general would also reduce injuries. The most effective approach remains to be clearly established." @default.
