Falls and fear of falling among Israeli community-dwelling older people: a cross-sectional national survey

ConclusionThe prevalence of falls and fear of falling among Israeli community-dwelling older people is comparable to the rates published in other countries. Efforts should be made to increase awareness about falls and their health consequences among older people. The development of specific interventions to target those at higher risk for falls and fear of falling is strongly recommended.
