“…A possible explanation for the lumbar region to be the most affected one in our study may be the great percentage of falls from a high place and from one's own height, since these trauma mechanisms usually lead to lesions in this region 28 . Changes that come with aging may be seen as trauma facilitators, such as the worsened proprioception, the presence of tremors which make walking difficult, the slower defense reflexes, and the tissue changes characteristic of the aging process, thus leading to an increased risk of falls in this age group 29 .…”

“…1 Em função de sua natureza multifatorial, sua frequência e suas consequências, as quedas constituem uma das grandes síndromes geriátricas e um dos maiores problemas de saúde pública. [2][3][4] Além de estarem relacionadas a maior morbidade e mortalidade na velhice, 5 associam-se a restrição na mobilidade, fraturas, depressão, incapacidade funcional, perda da independência e autonomia, institucionalização e declínio da qualidade de vida, bem como têm gerado implicações socioeconômicas e sobrecarga para os sistemas de saúde. 6,7 Para a American Geriatrics Society (AGS) e a British Geriatrics Society (BGS), 6 as quedas são definidas como um contato não intencional com a superfície de apoio, resultante da mudança de posição do indivíduo para um nível inferior à sua posição inicial, sem que tenha havido fator intrínseco determinante ou acidente inevitável e sem perda de consciência.…”

“…This probably reflects the difference in the mechanism of injury between groups. In a previous study we compared the lesions found among the traumatized victims of falls from standing height and other trauma mechanisms, having also observed a lower average abdominal segment AIS 28 . Therefore, since falls from the standing height were more frequent in the super elderly, one would expect a lower average abdominal AIS in this group.…”
