摘要

世界卫生组织将跌倒列为老年人意外伤害的第二大原因。目前仍不清楚无明确原因的老年人跌倒有哪些特征。在这项回顾性观察研究中，共招募了 304 名至少出现过一次跌倒的住院老年人。跌倒发生率在凌晨 4 点至 8 点、坐着或站着、平地、上厕所、下床或行走时明显较高。最常见的受伤部位是头部和下肢，最常见的受伤类型是骨折和瘀伤。与男性相比，女性更有可能在凌晨 12 点至 4 点摔倒，摔倒后躯干受伤和骨折。这项研究描述了发生在养老院老年人身上的跌倒事件，为制定预防老年人跌倒的策略提供了有用的信息。

The characteristics of falls in an institutionalized elderly cohort in China – A Retrospective observational study

Falls are classified by WHO as the second highest cause of accidental injuries in older adults. It remains unclear what characteristics of falls are in elderly individuals that do not present definite causes. A total of 304 institutionalized older adults presented at least one fall were recruited in this retrospective observational study. The fall incidence was significantly higher at 4am-8am, at locations involving sitting down or standing up and involving flat ground, and when individuals going to toilets, getting off bed or walking. The most frequently injured sites were head and lower limb, while the most frequently occurred injury types were bone fractures and bruises. Females were more likely to fall at 12am-4am, have body trunk injured and suffer bone fractures after falls compared with males. This study characterized fall incidents occurred in elderly institutionalized adults, providing useful information for strategy making in the prevention of falls for older adults.
