Cochrane Library Special Collection: Preventing falls and fall-related injuries in older people

Free access to all included Cochrane Reviews for 30 daysFalling is a common problem and is an often-overlooked cause of injury in the elderly. Falls increase in frequency with advancing age and increasing frailty. Falls should not be considered an inevitable consequence of ageing. The Cochrane Reviews in this Special Collection focus on the prevention of falls and fall-related injuries in older people, and they provide evidence of effective interventions. The collection includes reviews on the prevention of falls caused by visual impairment, prevention of falls in the community and falls in care settings, and the prevention of falls following major illness. All reviews included in the Special Collection are free to access for the next 30 days (until 17 November), afterwards reviews over 1 year are free to access.Read the Special Collection on Preventing falls and fall-related injuries in older people Wednesday, October 17, 2018
