“…Study participants were representative in terms of sex, age, civil status and geographical region, and the results obtained for these parameters are in line with those described by Rodríguez-Molinero et al 2 The proportion of individuals living in institutions was 14.3% at the time of admission and 26.2% on discharge. These figures are higher than those reported by Uriz-Otano et al ,14 whose study in elderly patients with hip fracture was conducted in a similar geographical location to ours.…”

“…This study included 772 subjects, 550 of them older than 80 years; 637 participants completed the follow-up, 430 of them were octogenarian (17% were lost to follow-up); 9.9% of participants had multiple falls during the one-year follow up period, the incidence of falls in this sample was published elsewhere [19]. Twenty subjects were excluded from the analysis due to severe cognitive deterioration (Pfeiffer test > 7 errors).…”

IntroductionOlder adults’ perception of their own risk of fall has never been included into screening tools. The goal of this study was to evaluate the predictive validity of questions on subjects’ self-perception of their own risk of fall.MethodsThis prospective study was conducted on a probabilistic sample of 772 Spanish community-dwelling older adults, who were followed-up for a one year period. At a baseline visit, subjects were asked about their recent history of falls (question 1: “Have you fallen in the last 6 months?”), as well as on their perception of their own risk of fall by using two questions (question 2: “Do you think you may fall in the next few months?” possible answers: yes/no; question 3: “What is the probability that you fall in the next few months?” possible answers: low/intermediate/high). The follow-up consisted of quarterly telephone calls, where the number of falls occurred in that period was recorded.ResultsA short questionnaire built with questions 1 and 3 showed 70% sensitivity (95% CI: 56%-84%), 72% specificity (95% CI: 68%-76%) and 0.74 area under the ROC curve (95% CI: 0.66–0.82) for prediction of repeated falls in the subsequent year.ConclusionsThe estimation of one’s own risk of fall has predictive validity for the occurrence of repeated falls in older adults. A short questionnaire including a question on perception of one’s own risk of fall and a question on the recent history of falls had good predictive validity.

“…Na Espanha, da avaliação de 772 idosos, ocorreram 373 quedas ao longo do estudo, revelando uma incidência de 53,5 quedas por 100 pessoas/ano (RODRÍGUEZ-MOLINERO et al, 2015). Por outro lado, um estudo de seguimento de um ano realizado com 78 idosos holandeses constatou que 76 quedas foram registradas, sendo que a média foi 1,00 queda por pessoa, ano (ENKELAAR et al, 2013).…”
