AnnotationIn the past 20 years, there has been a great deal of international, specialised research activity focused on risk factors and prevention strategies for falls in older people. This book reviews material published in journal articles, to provide health workers with a detailed analysis of recent developments. The book is organised in three parts: risk factors, prevention strategies, and future research directions. Coverage includes: epidemiology; critical appraisal of the roles of exercise, environment, footwear, and medication; evidence-based risk assessment; and targeted and individually tailored falls prevention strategies.
