Ek S, et al. - Researchers investigated sex-specific links between risk factors and injurious falls over the short (<4 years) and long (4–10 years) term in this longitudinal cohort study conducted between 2001 and 2011. They defined an injurious fall as a fall that required inpatient or outpatient care. Analyzing a total of 3,112 community-dwelling adults aged 60 and older, they noted that in the short term, injurious falls in women had an independent association with living alone, dependency in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), and previous falls. Injurious falls in men had an association with low systolic blood pressure, impaired chair stands, and previous falls. Being underweight, cognitive impairment, being on fall-risk increasing drugs, and IADL dependency for women and smoking, heart disease, impaired balance, and a previous fall for men were the long-term risk factors.
