目的.福尔斯是一个严重的和可预防的问题，在老年人。视力受损与福尔斯的风险有关;然而，视力的特定组成部分的缺陷对福尔斯风险的影响尚不清楚。2375名参与索尔兹伯里眼科评估（SEE）的个体提供了长达20个月的福尔斯数据。视力、对比敏感度、视野和立体视敏度均采用标准测量方法进行测试。为了帮助评估，每个参与者在日历上记录福尔斯，该日历每月发送给SEE诊所。采用β-二项式回归分析。较差的视野评分与跌倒风险相关（OR = 1.08，10分损失，95% CI 1.03-1.13）。当两个中央（
PURPOSE. Falls are a serious and preventable problem in older adults. Impaired vision has been linked to risk of falls; however, the impact of deficits in specific components of vision on the risk of falls is not well known.METHODS. Data on falls for up to 20 months were provided by 2375 individuals participating in the Salisbury Eye Evaluation (SEE). Visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, visual field, and stereoacuity were tested by using standard measures. To aid in the assessment, each participant recorded falls on a calendar that was sent every month to the SEE clinic. beta- Binomial regression analysis was used.RESULTS. Worse visual field scores were associated with the risk of falling (OR = 1.08 for a 10-point loss of points, 95% CI 1.03-1.13). When both central (
