ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the related factors of fall among community-dwelling and hospitalized elderly.Methods From May to September, 2021, 50 elderly from Tianshenggang Community Health Service Center of Medical Union of Nantong University Affiliated Hospital and 50 elderly in the first ward of Geriatrics Department of Nantong University Affiliated Hospital were selected by random systematic sampling method. Face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted respectively. All the participants underwent a comprehensive geriatric assessment and blood, neuromusculoskeletal B-ultrasound tests. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the status and related factors of falls among community and hospitalized elderly with a history of falls within one year.Results There were significant differences in fall history, the score of Morse Fall Scale (MFS) and hospitalization due to fall history between the hospitalized elderly and the community-dwelling elderly (χ2 > 6.250, Z=-3.132, P<0.05). In addition to fall related factors, age, ability of self-care, the score of International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICI-Q-SF), frailty index (FI), the score of Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA) part 2, the score of Short Form of Health Survey (SF-36), the score of Memorial University of Newfoudland Scale of Happiness (MUNSH), waist-to-hip ratio, arm and leg circumferences, red blood cell count, hemoglobin and triglyceride were the related factors of fall in hospitalized elderly (|Z| > 0.462, χ2=7.447, P<0.05). The scores of Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)-15, MFS, FI and SF-36, and grip strength were the related factors of fall in community-dwelling elderly (|Z| > 1.758, χ2=6.640, P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for falls in hospitalized elderly within one year were age, the score of MFS, FI, arm and leg circumferences, the score of SF-36, hemoglobin and triglyceride. The related factors of falls in community-dwelling elderly included the scores of GDS-15, MFS, FI SF-36 and MUNSH, and grip strength (P<0.05). The scores of SF-36 and MUNSH decreased after fall for elderly in both community and hospital (t=-3.108, Z > 2.567, P<0.05).Conclusion The incidence of falls and hospitalization due to falls, and the risk of falls are higher among the hospitalized elderly than that in community, and the related factors are different. Therefore, it is needed to carry out targeted intervention for the corresponding factors to reduce the occurrence of fall.
