自20世纪40年代以来，瀑布一直是西方国家研究的对象，但日本对瀑布的研究才开始了20年。对日本社区老年人跌倒的流行病学研究提供了许多证据，包括：(1)跌倒的发生率从略低于10%到超过20%不等，低于西方老年人的跌倒频率；(2)女性跌倒的频率高于男性，并且跌倒的发生率随着年龄的增长而增加；(3)尽管地区差异明显，但没有明显的统一趋势。本文主要回顾了关于日本社区老年人跌倒发生率的报道。与此同时，预防工作才刚刚开始。随着长期护理保险的引入和以预防为重点的制度的实施，在过去三年中启动了以长期护理预防方案的形式改善机车功能的方案，包括预防跌倒和骨折。我们已经描述了社区预防计划的部分结果。展望未来，预防跌倒的计划预计将在全国范围内实施。
Falls have been an object of study in the Western countries since the 1940s, but it is only 20 years since studies of falls began in Japan. Epidemiological studies of falls among community-dwelling elderly in Japan have produced much evidence, including (1) the incidence of falls ranges from just below 10% up to over 20%, a lower frequency than among the Western elderly; (2) women experience falls at a higher frequency than men, and the incidence of falls increases with age; and (3) although regional differences are apparent, no uniform trend is in evidence. This paper reviews primarily reports on the incidence of falls among community-dwelling elderly in Japan. Meanwhile, preventive efforts are only just underway. With the introduction of long-term care insurance and the system focused on prevention, programs have been launched over the past three years for the improvement of locomotive functions in the form of long-term care prevention programs inclusive of preventing falls and bone fractures. We have described the partial results of community prevention programs. Going forward, the fall prevention programs are expected to be implemented nationwide.
