跌倒是老年痴呆症患者发病和死亡的一个主要原因。然而，尽管我们知道痴呆症患者可以遵守已知的减少认知正常人群跌倒的干预措施，并且这些干预措施可以改变痴呆症患者跌倒的某些危险因素，但缺乏可以预防老年痴呆症患者跌倒的直接证据。需要进一步的研究专门针对老年痴呆症患者的跌倒预防。
Falls are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in older people with dementia. However, although we know that people with dementia can comply with interventions known to reduce falls in cognitively normal populations, and that these interventions can modify certain risk factors for falls in patients with dementia, direct evidence that falls can be prevented in older people with dementia is lacking. Further research is required specifically targeting fall prevention in older people with dementia.
