Brief Summary:
In 2010 the French population over 75 years of age was 9 It will be 13 in 2030 and 19 in 2050 according to estimates The incidence of falls is high in the elderly population with at least one fall per year for one-third of the over-65s and for half of the over-80s These data are consistent with the international medical literature particularly in Japan the United States and France with a high rate of recurrence from the first fall Falling is a complex phenomenon that is of great importance in terms of morbidity and mortality since it can be followed by serious complications failure to recover recurrences trauma fractures hematomas wounds complications of decubitus and ulcers Immobilization loss of autonomy hospitalization institutionalization psychological complications post-fall syndrome depressive syndrome death
Fall risk factors are well known and described and relayed by learned societies of geriatrics and medical literature In addition HAS reported on this issue in 2009
The French Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology SFGG defines fragility as a clinical syndrome that reflects a decrease in reserve physiological capacities that alters the coping mechanisms of stress Its clinical expression is modulated by comorbidities and psychological social economic and behavioral factors Frailty syndrome is a risk marker for mortality and pejorative events including disability falls hospitalization and institutionalization The fall and its complications are closely related to the fragility syndrome The very fragile patient must take an active part in his own care He is the first advocate of fall prevention
On the other hand medical desertification and the low number of geriatricians makes this implication problematic even more so if the person is isolated or has cognitive impairment Nevertheless it is important to make the patient actor of his own prevention This is the first study to describe the knowledge of older adults about their own risk of falling
