Abstract: (1024 Views)
Background: Prevention and early intervention appear to be essential because falls are among the leading causes of injuries among the elderly. Numerous factors contribute to falls in the elderly, however few studies take into account the majority of these aspects. With a focus on safety and ergonomic concerns in developing nations, this study examined multifactorial fall risk assessment.
Method: A review method was used to conduct this study. Articles from 2019 to 2024 were found using the keywords "Fall risk factor," "safety," "elderly," "fall prevention," "home safety," and "urban safety" on PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar websites.
Results: After a total of 1154 publications were located, 523 were chosen based on their titles, 120 were examined based on their abstracts, and 51 were chosen whose full texts were available in English. Many elements, including psychological, physical, and cognitive characteristics, ergonomic and safety tools, awareness and education, social factors, and urban services, were examined in the publications about falls among the elderly.
Conclusion: The risk factors for falls in the elderly were taken into account in this study by classifying external variables (connected to governments) and internal factors (physical and psychological, related to the safety of the place of residence, etc.), all of which have an impact on falls in the elderly. There isn't much research that assesses several elements at once, and the majority of studies rely on.
