Résumé :

Falls are a major cause of injury fear of falling and death affecting 24% of older people annually. Falls have a major impact on hospital services, are an important cause of carer strain and admission to long term care. Multifactorial interventions delivered to fallers are effective in reducing falls rates by 25%. However, no UK studies have evaluated the role of screening older people living in the community and offering those at high risk a falls prevention programme. This work describes two studies – the evaluation of a postal falls risk screening tool, and a randomised controlled trial ass

Background: Falls are one of the most common and serious problems facing the elderly and are known to be associated with significant mortality, morbidity, decreased functioning and premature institutionalization. In Hong Kong, the prevalence of falls among community-dwelling older adults is 19.3%. Moreover, the incidence of falls among older people in institutions is almost three times the fall rates for the community-dwelling elderly. Institutional falls are regarded as common adverse events in hospitalized older patients. Significant mortality, morbidity and healthcare costs associated with

Résumé :

The ageing population has been increasing the healthcare expenditure of Hong Kong and will continue to increase the financial burden. James Fries proposed a phenomenon of compression of morbidity in the early 1980s that the onset of morbidity of elderly can be delayed to a later year and the duration of disability can be compressed. If it works, it could be a solution to ease the burden caused by the ageing population. Scholars around the world have carried out research for the evaluation of the existence of the compression of morbidity and its effects. Inconsistent inter-countries and intra-c

Three research works on the quantification and study of biomarkers with the aid of TIRFM were herein described.

Falls are common and represent a major cause of severe injury and death among older people. Effective interventions to prevent falls have been developed, in particular 'balance training' - activities that enhance balance, coordination, and lower-leg muscle strength. However, older people's uptake offalls prevention interventions can be low, and so older people require advice to help motivate them to undertake balance training. Tailoring, the method ofmaking advice personally relevant to individuals, has been successfully used with other health behaviours to make advice more persuasive. The Int

Résumé :

Falls are a significant problem in acute care, hospital settings, and can have serious consequences, especially for older patients. Fall prevention has therefore been recognised as an important area for research and intervention. In order to target interventions and use resources effectively, a major strategy of many fall prevention programmes has been the development and/or use of risk assessment tools to identify patients who are at high risk of falling. Although many tools have been developed, few have been rigorously tested, and there is currently no evidence to support the clinical utilit
