Abstract

Abstract

Objective To understand the status and influencing factors of falls among the elderly in China, and to provide a reference for preventing falls among the elderly. Methods The data of 7 070 elderly people over 60 years old were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) in 2018. The chi-square test and binary Logistic regression were used to analyze the status and influencing factors of falls in the elderly. Results A total of 1 652 people had fallen in the past two years, and the incidence of falls was 23.4%. There were 714 people with serious conditions after falls that required medical attention, and the rate of falls medical treatment was 10.9%. Binary Logistic regression results showed that no spouse, fair and poor self-rated health status, chronic diseases, depressive symptoms, activity of daily living disability, poor vision, poor hearing, and use of supporting tools (OR=1.187, 1.319, 1.435, 1.154, 1.433, 1.730, 1.230, 1.488, 1.503) were risk factors for falls in the elderly (P < 0.05). Conclusions Falls in the elderly are caused by a variety of factors. The risk factors should be comprehensively evaluated, and comprehensive prevention should be taken to prevent and reduce the potential risks leading to falls and protect the health of the elderly.
