概要

Most falls happen at home. Falls can also happen outside – such as on front doorsteps or an icy driveway – or while out and about in the community.

The reasons that make someone more likely to fall are known as “risk factors”. Risk factors for falls can include things such as:
• Older age
• Mobility, balance and strength issues
• Certain health conditions (e.g., arthritis, cognitive impairment, Parkinson’s)
• Taking multiple medications
• Hazards in the home, such as uneven steps or rugs that can be tripped on.

The more risk factors someone has, the more likely they are to fall.
