PREVALENCE OF FALL AMONG GERIATRIC PATIENTS AROUND BAHUWALA IN DEHRADUN
Falls are dened as accidental events in which a person falls when his/her center of gravity is lost and no effort is made to
restore balance or when this effort is ineffective. Falls are considered as the most common cause of injuries among the
older population. This study aims to nd the prevalence of falls among elderly in Bahuwala area of Dehradun.This cross-sectional study was
conducted using an anonymous, 20-item questionnaire which was developed in English and Arabic to be delivered as a semi-structured interview.
In the present study, the prevalence of falls in older adults was 42.71% in Male and 57.29%in female and with advancing age, the prevalence of
falls increases. This is consistent with earlier observations that females and advanced age (age above 75 years) were associated
with a greater prevalence of falls
