Article Synopsis
- About one-third of older adults aged 65 and older fall each year, prompting the need for community-wide interventions that address the broader factors contributing to these falls, such as environmental hazards and lack of physical activity.
- These interventions may include policies for increased vitamin D intake, reducing hazards in homes and communities, and promoting public health programs that encourage exercise among older adults.
- The study aimed to review evidence on the effectiveness of these population-based interventions by analyzing randomized controlled trials and other relevant studies, focusing on strategies that benefit entire communities rather than just individuals at high risk.
