Abstract

Falls are among the most common and serious events in older adults and are closely associated with frailty. Falls frequently result in fractures, leading to substantial consequences for health, physical function, quality of life, independence, social isolation, and increased mortality. Although falls are often perceived as an inevitable part of ageing, this review finds that falls can be largely prevented through targeted exercise and their consequences mitigated through a systematic, multidisciplinary approach.
