Falls are the leading cause of hospitalization due to injury in elderly people, and are associated with substantial medical and rehabilitation costs, as well as social isolation and premature institutionalization for a significant number of people who fall. This study aims to reduce the economic and social burden of falls. A randomized controlled trial will evaluate the impact of a community based falls prevention program (C-BF) with an at-risk elderly population. The intervention is designed to improve elderly people's capacity to follow through with effective falls prevention strategies and to manage risks in their everyday lives, and hence to reduce the rate at which they experience falls. The outcome of this project will be a user friendly manual that will document the program in enough detail so that it can be easily implemented by health care professionals.

跌倒是老年人因受伤而住院的主要原因，并且与大量的医疗和康复费用以及大量跌倒者的社会隔离和过早送入机构有关。本研究旨在减轻跌倒造成的经济和社会负担。一项随机对照试验将评估基于社区的跌倒预防计划 (C-BF) 对高危老年人群的影响。该干预措施旨在提高老年人执行有效跌倒预防策略和管理日常生活风险的能力，从而降低跌倒发生率。该项目的成果将是一本用户友好的手册，该手册将详细记录该计划，以便医疗保健专业人员可以轻松实施。
