Falls constitute a major risk to the health, well-being, and independence of older adults. It serves as a precursor to frailty, which is a marker of illness, isolation, and is associated with higher mortality rates. An unaddressed fall leads to recurrent falls if risk factors are not identified and addressed. Risk factors for falls are multi-factorial, requiring a comprehensive head-to-toe approach for both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Targeted bio-psycho-social interventions are effective, particularly in those with a history of falls. Falls are preventable if risk factors are identified early with the timely introduction of appropriate interventions.
