本研究探讨了两种报告方法的一致性福尔斯（3个月和12个月的回忆）所经历的老年人生活在农村社区。从1992年到1993年，每三个月进行一次为期三个月的福尔斯发生率的访谈调查。在最后的访谈中，还询问了受试者在过去12个月内发生福尔斯的情况。在新泻县的一个村庄里，共有799名65岁以上的受试者（270名男性，529名女性）回答了所有四次调查。3个月回忆时，1年内福尔斯的发生率为19.0%，12个月回忆时为19.1%。两种方法之间跌倒发生率的总体一致性为98.9%，作为一致性指标的Kappa系数为0.96。另一方面，在3个月报告中报告的福尔斯期间受伤的受试者在研究结束时接受采访时不一定记得跌倒。在任何情况下，这项研究表明，调查福尔斯的老年人生活在社区1年的回忆是一个可靠的方法，因为跌倒发生率的高协议时，比较两种方法。
This study examined the concordance of two reporting methods for falls (3 month and 12 month recall) experienced by elderly living in a rural community. Four interview surveys on the occurrence of falls over a 3 month period were conducted from 1992 to 1993 every three months. In the final interview, subjects were also asked about the occurrence of falls during the past 12 months. A total of 799 subjects (270 men, 529 women) aged 65 and over, living in a village of Niigata Prefecture, responded to all four surveys. The incidence of falls in one year was 19.0% by the 3 month recall, and 19.1% by the 12 month recall. Overall agreement of fall occurrence between the two methods was 98.9%, and a coefficient of kappa as a measure of concordance was 0.96. On the other hand, subjects who sustained injuries during falls reported in the 3 month reporting did not necessarily recall having a fall when interviewed at the end of the study. In any case, this study reveals that for surveying falls by the elderly living in the community a 1 year recall is a reliable method, because of the high agreement of fall occurrence when comparing the two methods.
