Abstract

Approximately 30% of adults aged 65 years or older experience at least 1 fall annually. Yet falls are not an inevitable part of aging.1 These guidelines outline best practices for assessing fall risk and for prescribing practical, person-centered interventions that address mobility; sensory, cognitive, and autonomic function; and active medical problems, medications, environmental risk, and activities of daily living.
