Discussion

Cross-sectional study identifies key risk factors for falls in older adults, suggesting preventive interventions in community settings.

The study found that 17.7% of older adults reported at least one fall in the past year, indicating a significant public health issue.
Independent risk factors included female sex, unsteadiness, and sedative drug use, highlighting modifiable targets for intervention.
Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of falls and recurrent falls among a cohort of 5694 community-dwelling older adults.
Addressing modifiable risk factors such as sedative use and balance issues may help prevent falls among older adults in the community.

Ubonsutvanich et al. (2025) studied this question.
