TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Effectiveness of group-based interventions for fall prevention among community-dwelling older adults - 7 regions, 6 PLADs, China, 2019-2020 JO - China CDC weekly A1 - Er, Yuliang A1 - Lu, Zhiming A1 - Jin, Ye A1 - Ye, Pengpeng A1 - Duan, Leilei SP - 1047 EP - 1051 VL - 5 IS - 47 N2 - WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? Many of the current studies focusing on fall prevention interventions have been conducted in hospital settings within a select few urban areas in China, thus yielding limited evidence on the effectiveness of large-scale, multicenter, community-based interventions. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? In comparison to the control group, participants in the intervention group exhibited a 64% reduction in fall risk. Group-based fall prevention programs have demonstrated efficacy in mitigating fall risk among the elderly population. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE? Group-based fall prevention interventions serve as a significant adjunctive resource for the management of elderly health within communities and offer compelling evidence to support the incorporation of fall prevention strategies into health policy frameworks in China.
