Community-Based Falls Prevention Programs for Older Adults

Quick fact

Evidence-based community falls prevention programs, such as those incorporating balance and strength exercises, can reduce fall rates in older adults by up to 30%—comparable to the effectiveness of some medication-based interventions for chronic disease.

Why this is interesting

Every year, about one in four older adults experiences a fall—yet many falls are preventable. How do community programs turn this knowledge into real-world action?
