Falling Clinical Trial
Official title:
Fall Prevalence and Factors Affecting Falls in Elderly.
Falling in the elderly is a common problem that can have devastating consequences for
individuals and affect social support networks. Falls are considered to be the most common
cause of injury in the elderly population. In developed countries, it is reported that one
out of every three elderly people in the society has fallen during the year and that number
has increased gradually after the age of 65. There are many risk factors that cause falls in
the elderly. These factors may be caused by the elderly itself (intrinsic) or the environment
(extrinsic).
The aim of this study are two folds:
1. To determine the prevalence of falls in the last year among the elderly living in
Degirmenlik region of Nicosia, Northern Cyprus,
2. To determine predictors of the risk of falls in the elderly.
