Stina Ek, et al. - Between 2001 and 2011, researchers performed a longitudinal cohort study to identify sex-specific associations of risk factors with injurious falls over the short- (< 4 years) and long term (4–10 years). Analyzing data from community-dwelling adults aged ≥ 60 years (N=3,112), they recognized different fall-risk profiles among men and women. In the short term, injurious falls in women were independently associated with living alone, dependency in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), and previous falls; injurious falls in men were noted in association with low systolic blood pressure, impaired chair stands, and previous falls. Long-term risk factors included underweight, cognitive impairment, fall-risk increasing drugs, and IADL dependency for women and smoking, heart disease, impaired balance, and a previous fall for men.
