“…25 With respect to multimorbidity, continuous use of medications, frailty, dependence for BADL and IADL, and the high proportion of older people in this research with these conditions is in accordance with studies that point out the presence of diseases, use of medications, frailty, and dependence as important factors for the risk of falls. 26,27 Regarding the characteristics of the falls of the participants in the current study, it was observed that they are similar to the characteristics found in another study conducted in Brazil 28,29 , as well as and in a study conducted in South Korea 30 , both with hospitalized individuals.

“…(6,(13)(14) Em contrapartida, alguns autores encontraram uma maior prevalência de quedas entre as mulheres e associaram a uma maior prevalência de doenças crônicas, maior incidência de osteoporose e alterações de ordem hormonal na pós-menopausa, fatores que interferem no equilíbrio postural, bem como na redução de massa muscular. (7,15) Com relação à faixa etária, os pacientes que sofreram quedas apresentaram idade igual ou superior a 60 anos (50,6%). Sabe-se que o avanço da idade desencadeia uma série de alterações fisiológicas, consideradas fatores de risco para a ocorrência de quedas, mais frequentes nessa faixa etária.…”

“…Os fatores comumente observados são aqueles relativos à instabilidade postural, alteração da marcha, diminuição da cognição, déficits sensoriais, além dos agravos crônico-degenerativos. (6)(7) Os dados epidemiológicos apontam que cerca de um terço dos idosos sofre ao menos uma queda ao ano. (16) As quedas cometem cerca de 30% dos idosos acima de 60 anos e de 40 a 50% dos idosos mais velhos (acima de 80 a 85 anos), consistindo na principal causa de lesões, fatais ou não, nesses grupos.…”
