总之,福尔斯和跌倒损伤是老年人功能残疾、发病率和医疗保健利用率增加的常见和潜在可预防的原因。虽然在过去的十年里,我们对福尔斯和跌倒伤害有了很多了解,但为了确定最佳的预防策略,还需要更多的信息。表1列出了一些尚待回答的重要问题。表1中列出的主题和本文中讨论的主题为老年人预防跌倒和受伤的研究议程提供了一个起始模板,尽管这些主题并不详尽。
In summary, falls and fall injuries represent common and potentially preventable causes of functional disability, morbidity, and increased health care utilization among elderly persons. While much has been learned about falls and fall injuries over the past decade, much further information is needed in order to identify the optimal prevention strategies. Some of the important questions that remain to be answered are listed in Table 1. While certainly not exhaustive, the topics listed in Table 1 and discussed in this paper provide a beginning template for a research agenda for fall and injury prevention among elderly persons.
