Article Synopsis
- - Falls are a major public health issue, especially among older adults (≥60 years) in care settings, leading to serious physical and psychological problems; hence, accurate fall risk assessments are vital for prevention and individualized care.
- - This study evaluated the Fall Risk Score (FRS) using real-world data from 617 elderly individuals in Germany to determine its effectiveness in predicting falls over time and to identify critical threshold values.
- - Results indicated a strong correlation between higher FRS scores and an increased number of falls, particularly in participants with slower gait speeds and those using walking aids, emphasizing the FRS's prognostic validity for fall risk assessment.
