Article Synopsis
- Falls are a significant public health issue for the elderly in Guangzhou, China, accounting for 49.41% of injuries from 2014 to 2018, with monthly cases peaking in December and minimal in April.
- The study found positive correlations between monthly elderly falls and wind speed, while atmospheric pressure negatively affected fall rates, indicating weather influences these incidents.
- A multiple linear regression model revealed that wind speed and atmospheric pressure are independent factors impacting falls among the elderly, suggesting weather-related prevention strategies could reduce fall injuries.
Few studies have concentrated on the prevalence and related factors of depression and falls among the elderly living in rural communities of Guangzhou. A total of 335 participants aged ≥60 years were recruited by simple random sampling method. A structural equation model was applied to determine interrelationships between depression, falls and other variables.
