Purpose: This systematic review aimed to update fragility hip fracture incidences in the Asia Pacific, and compare rates between countries/regions.

Method: A systematic search was conducted in four electronic databases. Studies reporting data between 2010 and 2023 on the geographical incidences of hip fractures in individuals aged ≥50 were included.

Implementation of the programme to prevent falls in older people: a process evaluation protocol.

Introduction: One in three people aged 65 years and over fall each year. The health, economic and personal impact of falls will grow substantially in the coming years due to population ageing. Developing and implementing cost-effective strategies to prevent falls and mobility problems among older people is therefore an urgent public health challenge.

Multifactorial and multiple component interventions for preventing falls in older people living in the community.

Background: Falls and fall-related injuries are common, particularly in those aged over 65, with around one-third of older people living in the community falling at least once a year. Falls prevention interventions may comprise single component interventions (e.g.

Trends in fall-related ambulance use and hospitalisation among older adults in NSW, 2006-2013: a retrospective, population-based study.

Unlabelled: Objective and importance of study: To describe characteristics and temporal trends of fall-related ambulance service use and hospital admission in older adults in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Such information will facilitate a more targeted approach to planning and delivery of health services to prevent falls and their adverse sequelae in different groups of older adults.

Study Type: Retrospective population-based descriptive study.

Fall-related hospitalisations of older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians.

Objectives: To compare the socio-demographic characteristics and type of injury sustained, the use of hospital resources and rates of hospitalisation by injury type, and survival following fall injuries to older Aboriginal people and non-Indigenous Australian people hospitalised for fall-related injuries.

Design: Population-based retrospective cohort data linkage study. Setting, participants: New South Wales residents aged 50 years or more admitted to a public or private NSW hospital for a fall-related injury during 1 January 2003 - 31 December 2012.

Comparison of fall-related traumatic brain injury in residential aged care and community-dwelling older people: A population-based study.

Objective: To compare trends, causes, and outcomes of fall-related traumatic brain injury (TBI) between community-dwelling (CD) individuals and residential aged care facility (RACF) residents.

Methods: Hospitalisation and RACF administrative data for 6635 individuals aged ≥65 years admitted to all NSW hospitals for fall-related TBI from 2008-2009 to 2012-2013 were linked.

Results: Of the 6944 hospitalisations, 20.

Epidemiology of ambulance responses to older people who have fallen in New South Wales, Australia.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of ambulance records from New South Wales, Australia for emergency calls classified as 'falls' in the period 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009.

Results: There were 42 331 responses to people aged 65 years or older, constituting 5.
