abstract="Serious falls have a significant impact on the health and welfare of our older population and incur substantial costs. However, despite the design of demonstrably effective fall-prevention interventions and the dedicated efforts of health professionals, researchers and policy makers, there has been little improvement in the rate of fall-related injuries requiring hospitalisation over the last decade or so. This paper presents an overview of recent analyses of trends in serious falls incidence in Australia and starts discussion as to where fall injury surveillance, research, intervention design, and fall prevention policy should head in coming years.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
