| Consumer Summary: | KEY POINTS: The world's population is ageing. Falls and related injuries are increasingly common, making their prevention and management a critical global challenge. Opportunistic case-finding is necessary as older adults may not present following a fall and may be reluctant to report falls. Multidomain interventions tailored to individual's risks factors, when delivered, are effective. Engaging older individual's beliefs, attitudes and priorities about falls and their management is essential. Application of some of these recommendations may need modification to meet low resource settings and country's needs. |
