Abstract
Falls in older people are a major public health concern in terms of morbidity, mortality and the cost to health and social services [1]. This epidemiological review of falls concentrates on four main components. Firstly, different ways of defining and classifying falls and fallers are outlined. The second section deals with the occurrence, including the prevalence, time and place of falls. We then examine the causes (risk factors) for falling, and finally we discuss the impact (consequences) of falls in the older population.
