ABOUT THIS CLASS:
Read More FALL STATISTICS Globally, falls are a major public health problem. An estimated 646,000 fatal falls occur each year, making it the second leading cause of unintentional injury death, after road traffic injuries. In all regions of the world, death rates are highest among adults over the age of 60 years. Though not fatal, approximately 37.3 million falls severe enough to require medical attention occur each year. Such falls are responsible for over 17 million DALYs (disability-adjusted life years) lost. The largest morbidity occurs in people aged 65 years or older, young adults aged 15–29 years and children aged 15 years or younger. The financial costs from fall-related injuries are substantial. FALL PREVENTION Fall prevention strategies should be comprehensive and multifaceted. They should prioritize research and public health initiatives to further define the burden, explore variable risk factors and utilize effective prevention strategies.
