目的：确定风险因素与短期内伤害性福尔斯跌倒之间的性别特异性关联（= 2种药物）和IADL依赖女性和吸烟者（HR=1.58，95% CI=1.32-5.97）（HR=1.71，95% CI=1.03-2.84），心脏病（HR=2.20，95% CI=1.5-3.24），平衡受损（HR=1.68，95% CI=1.08-2.62），和既往跌倒结论：男性和女性跌倒的危险性不同，在制定预防策略时应考虑这些差异。一些危险因素更强的预测伤害性福尔斯在较短的时间比较长的时间，反之亦然，这表明它可能会确定老年男性和女性在短期和长期的伤害性福尔斯的风险。
OBJECTIVES: To identify sex-specific associations between risk factors and injurious falls over the short (= 2 drugs), and IADL dependency (HR=1.58, 95% CI=1.32-5.97) for women and smoking (HR=1.71, 95% CI=1.03-2.84), heart disease (HR=2.20, 95% CI=1.5-3.24), impaired balance (HR=1.68, 95% CI=1.08-2.62), and a previous fall (HR=3.61, 95% CI=1.98-6.61) for men.CONCLUSION: Men and women have different fall risk profiles, and these differences should be considered when developing preventive strategies. Some risk factors were more strongly predictive of injurious falls over shorter than longer periods and vice versa, suggesting that it may be possible to identify older men and women at short-and long-term risk of injurious falls.
