Abstract

Dear Editor-in-Chief Falls in the elderly is not just a physical or medical problem; it has adverse physical, medical, psychological, social and economic consequences. Nearly 30% of people aged 65 and over fall each year which increases significantly with age. In developing countries like India where the elderly population is steeply rising, the burden of fall injuries is bound to grow manifold due to lack of injury prevention policies and programmes. The curative services in terms of provision of acute trauma care and long term rehabilitation services is resource intensive and costly which calls for a high risk preventive approach. A review of literature says that falls among older persons are associated with identifiable and modifiable risk factors and targeted prevention efforts are cost-effective. Multi-factorial, multi-disciplinary intervention strategy delivered in the form of a comprehensive package has proved to be effective over single-factor intervention in various studies across different settings.
