ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Several studies have shown independent risk factors for falling among community older people. However, there is few researches showing the importance of older person's perception of their own fall risk.Aims:
The study purpose was to identify independent risk factors for falls and to explore predictive factors related to the occurrence of falls in community-dwelling older people.Method:
A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to April 2015. All data were based on self-report of older persons. An study-specific questionnaire was used. Univariate and logistic regression analyses were used.Results:
The sample comprised 562 men and 760 women. Among the participants, 24.5% reported having had falls in the previous six months, scoring a total of 467 falling events. Of the individuals who had fallen, 36.8% had experienced recurrent falls. The risk of fall was nearly twice as high in women than in men (OR=1.85; 95% CI 1.40-2.43). Being 75 years old or older was associated with an increased risk of falling compared with being 65-74 years old (OR=2.38; 95% CI1.82-3.11). The elderly who had fallen reported injuries (48.3%) associated with falls, and 36% required heal-th care.Conclusion:
Six independent risk factors for falling into the community dwelling older people were identified, some of which are potentially modifiableRESUMEN
