摘要

背景:老年人容易跌倒并造成严重伤害。老年人跌倒会造成严重的公共健康后遗症,也是老年人中最常见的事故形式。生活质量差的老年人摔倒的风险可能更高。这项研究的目的是评估在拉各斯初级卫生保健(PHC)中心就诊的老年人跌倒风险和生活质量。方法:这是一项描述性的横断面研究,在拉各斯州穆辛地方政府区(LGA)的初级保健中心的老年人中进行。采用多阶段随机抽样技术选择LGA和PHC中心。老年人跌倒风险-社区环境和简短的表格-12健康调查使用。共有200名来自初级保健中心的受访者参与了这项研究。采用Epi-info version 7.2.1.0软件进行数据收集和分析。使用卡方法确定跌倒风险、跌倒患病率和生活质量之间的关系。P < 0.05为显著性水平。结果:调查对象中跌倒发生率为15%,92.5%的人跌倒风险低,93.4%的人生活质量良好。跌倒的危险因素与生活质量(<0.001)以及跌倒的发生率(<0.001)之间存在统计学上显著的关联。生活质量差的人和以前摔倒过的人摔倒的风险更高。结论:该地区跌倒风险较低,但跌倒发生率和生活质量较高。

Fall risks and Health-related quality of life among elderly attending primary healthcare centers in South Western Nigeria: A cross-sectional study
Background: The older persons are prone to falls resulting in severe injury. Falls among the older adults lead to significant public health sequelae and they account for the most prevalent forms of accidents that occur in older persons. Fall risks may be higher among the elderly with poor quality of life. This study was aimed at evaluating fall risks and the quality of life of the older adults attending primary health-care (PHC) centers in Lagos. Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study carried out among the elderly that attended PHC centers in Mushin local government area (LGA), Lagos state. A multistage random sampling technique was used to select the LGA and the PHC centers that were used. Fall Risk for Older People-Community Setting and the short form-12 Health survey were used. A total of 200 respondents from the PHC centers participated in the study. Data were collected and analyzed using Epi-info version 7.2.1.0 software. Associations between fall risks, fall prevalence, and quality of life were determined using Chi-square. The level of significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: The prevalence of falls was 15% and 92.5% of the respondents had a low risk of falling and 93.4% had a good quality of life. There was a statistically significant association between risk factors for falls and quality of life (<0.001), as well as the prevalence of falls (<0.001). Those with poor quality of life and those who have fallen previously have a higher risk of falling. Conclusion: Fall risk was low, while fall prevalence and quality of life were high.
