“…Authors confirm that older adults fall more and are more subject to traumatic and clinical acute injuries when compared proportionally to other age groups. 15,8 We found 68.3% of women's care, which coincides with some studies, in which the percentage of women among the subjects was greater than 70%, demonstrating how much falls are factors of concern for this gender. This may be due to the inherent fact of increased bone fragility in women.…”

“…These results are strengthened by the study 8 , which states that injuries to the elderly occur mostly during the cooler months between June and September. Since Jequié is a city with high temperatures, during the year of 2013 it was observed by the chart of the site CLIMATE that in the months of June to September the temperatures reached less than 20ºc.…”

“…This may be due to the inherent fact of increased bone fragility in women. 8,10 In one of the studies, 15 the attendance schedule shows a peak around 10 o' clock, followed by a plateau that lasts until 20 o' clock. It is observed agreement with the period of greatest activity, which corroborates with the data found, in which the highest number of falls occurred on working days 72.7%, on the morning shifts 35.5% and afternoon shifts 41%.…”

“…7 Falls occur as a result of a complex interaction of risk factors that can be classified into biological, such as age, gender and race, associated with changes due to aging;In behavioral risk factors, those that relate to human actions, emotions and daily activities and are potentially modifiable; Environmental risk factors that include the interaction of individuals' physical conditions and those of the surrounding environment; And socioeconomic risk factors such as work/income inequalities, education, housing without basic sanitation, limited access to health care and social assistance in priority areas, and lack of community resources. 8 Falls in the elderly are relevant in national statistics, since they ranked third in all external causes in 2007 and the first place in hospitalizations in the elderly population in 2008, both for men (15.7/100,000) and for women (12.5/100,000), with a coefficient of 14.0/100,000. 9 In the care of the trauma patient, among the various causes, are falling due to several factors.…”

RESUMOObjetivo: Observar as possíveis diferenças na gravidade da queda entre idosos jovens e longevos. Métodos: Foram identificados todos os idosos jovens (60 a 79 anos) e longevos (80 anos ou mais) atendidos por queda no ano de 2010, em duas unidades de atendimento de Urgência e Emergência Hospitalar em Porto alegre, rS. Mediante revisão dos boletins de atendimento, foram extraídos dados referentes ao idoso, dentre eles, as consequências da queda, classificadas pelo índice proposto por Caberlon e Bós (2015). as médias da gravidade da queda foram comparadas entre os dois grupos etários e testada pelo teste t de Student. a relação entre o gênero, faixa etária e o grau de gravidade foi testado pelo Qui-quadrado. Resultados: a maioria dos atendidos era do sexo feminino (72%), entre as quais 24% eram longevas. a percentagem de longevas foi significativamente maior que o de longevos (19%, p<0,001). a média do índice de gravidade geral foi de 5,7. Longevos apresentaram um índice de 6,5±5,45 enquanto os idosos mais jovens apresentaram um índice menor de 5,5±6,39 (p<0,001). as mulheres apresentaram maior frequência de gravidade severa. Conclusão: Concluímos que idosos longevos apresentam maior gravidade das quedas. Essa conclusão também é válida para o sexo feminino que, além de caírem com maior frequência apresentam maior gravidade das quedas principalmente no número de fraturas nas faixas etárias avaliadas (idosos jovens e longevos). Também concluímos ser possível utilizar um instrumento de avaliação da qualidade da queda que poderá ser utilizada em investigações futuras, a fim de contribuir para a realização de uma vigilância epidemiológica mais eficaz e resolutiva.Palavras-chave: Envelhecimento; Idoso; Idoso de 80 anos ou mais; acidentes por Quedas; Gravidade do Paciente. ABSTRACT Objective:To observe the possible differences in the severity of the decline among elderly young and the oldest old. Methods: We identified all elderly young (60-79 years) and oldest old (80 or older) admitted to fall in 2010, in two Urgent Care Units and Emergency Hospital in Porto alegre. Upon review of the service bulletins, data were extracted for the elderly, among them, the fall of the consequences, classified by the index proposed by Caberlon and Bos (2015). The mean decrease in severity were compared between the two age groups and tested by Student's t test. The relationship between gender, age and the degree of severity has been tested by chi-square. Results: Most attended were female (72%), among which 24% were long-lived. The percentage of long lifetime was significantly higher than the oldest (19%, p<0.001). The overall average severity score was 5.7. Oldest old showed an index of 6.5±5.45 while the elderly young had a lower rate of 5.5±6.39 (p<0.001). Women showed a higher frequency of severe gravity. Conclusion: We conclude that the oldest old have higher severity of falls. This conclusion also applies to the female sex, and fall more often have higher severity of falls mainly in the number of fractures in the evaluated age ...

Falls in late postmenopausal women with osteopenia usually cause fractures with severe consequences. This 36-month randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial with a 10-year observational follow-up study aimed to investigate the long-term effect of herbal formula Bushen Yijing Fang (BSYJF) on fall risk in the late postmenopausal women with osteopenia. 140 late postmenopausal women (Femoral neck T-score, −2.5~−2 SD) were recruited and randomized to orally receive calcium carbonate 300 mg daily with either BSYJF or placebo for 36 months. The effect was further investigated for another 10-year follow-up. During the 36-month administration, there were 12 falls in BSYJF group and 28 falls in placebo group, respectively, indicating 64% lower risk of falls (RR 0.36 [95% CI, 0.18 to 0.71]; P = 0.004) in BSYJF group. During the 10-year follow-up, 36% lower fall risk (RR 0.64 [95% CI, 0.46 to 0.89]; P = 0.009) was observed in BSYJF group. No significant difference was found in safety profile between two groups. Thirty-six-month administration of BSYJF reduced fall risk with an increase in bone mass, and its latent effect on fall risk was continually observed in the 10-year follow-up in late postmenopausal women with osteopenia. This clinical trial was registered at Chinese clinical trial registry (ChiCTR-IOR-16008942).
