This program of multifactorial fall prevention may have an effect on the physical function item of health-related quality of life in favor of the intervention group, but none on other measures of health-related quality of life, daily function, fear of falling or psychological well-being.

Nonresponding nonparticipants of a trial of multifactorial fall prevention differed significantly from participants in terms of socioeconomic and morbidity variables and were more likely to be hospitalized or die during 6 months of follow-up. Because of the differences between the two populations, it is questionable whether results from this randomized trial can be generalized to people potentially eligible for participation.

A program of multifactorial fall prevention aimed at elderly Danish people experiencing at least one injurious fall was not effective in preventing further falls.
