Multifactorial assessment of the risk of falls in the elderly

Vera Coimbra, Ermelinda Marques, Cláudia Chaves
The elderly population is exposed to an increased risk of falls. With demographic ageing, falls and their consequences for people, the health care system and the economy are expected to increase. The knowledge of the risk and risk factors for falls allows for a targeted multifactorial intervention, contributing to an active and healthy ageing. Falls can be prevented through community intervention projects, which should include, as a priority, elderly people at high risk of falling.
