TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Aim of the Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis (2011 edition) . Assessment of fall risk and fall prevention JO - Clinical calcium A1 - Harada, Atsushi SP - 852 EP - 856 VL - 22 IS - 6 N2 - Typical risk factors for falls include a history of falling, decreased walking ability, and taking certain drugs. Serum vitamin D concentration is associated with falls, and vitamin D administration decreases falls. Fall prevention methods include exercise intervention, interventions other than exercise, and multifaceted interventions. However, the scientific evidence for whether fall prevention prevents fractures is poor. Fracture prevention with the use of hip protectors is effective in nursing facility dwellers, but not in elderly people living at home. CliCa1206852856
