Proportion, Pattern, and Predictors of Falls in Older Adults - A Community-based Observational Study in Rural West Bengal

Quick takeaway

This community study highlights household environmental hazards as practical fall predictors, making home-safety checklists a concrete prevention tool.

Why this matters

Actionable because many of the fall risks it identifies are cheap to modify at home.

Key caution

The sample is modest and cross-sectional, so the identified predictors still need prospective validation.
