社区居家老年人跌倒的危险因素及干预措施的研究进展

Research progress on risk factors and intervention measures for falls in elderly residents in community

随着社会老龄化加剧,跌倒伤害已经成为严重威胁老年人身心健康的重大公共卫生问题,不仅给老年人自身生活带来不便,同时给家庭和社会也造成了不同程度的精神、经济负担。既往研究发现,认知功能障碍、步态异常、平衡能力差、居家环境不良等是诱发老年人跌倒的潜在风险因素,因此,详细了解并评估老年人跌倒相关危险因素,制定科学合理、个体化的防跌倒措施,对提高居家老年人的生存率和生活质量、以及降低家庭和社会的负担有重要意义。

As population aging aggravates, fall injury has become a major public health threat affecting the physical and mental health of the elderly, not only bringing inconvenience to their own lives but also causing mental and economic burden of various degrees to their families and society. Previous studies have found that cognitive impairment, abnormal gait, poor balance, and poor home environment are potential risk factors for falls in the elderly. Therefore, it is of great significance to evaluate more thoroughly the risk factors for falls in elderly people and to formulate scientific, rational and individualized interventions to prevent falls in time, with a view to improving the survival rate and quality of life of the elderly at home and reducing the burden of family and society.
