AnnotationThis Age and Ageing supplement comprises review articles on some of the topics discussed at the first United Kingdom National Conference on Falls and Postural Stability held in September 2000. The epidemiology of falls is discussed, with emphasis on problems created by the differing definitions of falls and fallers. Other papers consider: fall preventative strategies; cardiovascular causes of falls; visual problems; the relationship between falls and fractures; the effects of physical activity and exercise on postural stability; and the importance of older people keeping themselves as physically fit as possible.
