Interventions to Prevent Falls in Older Adults
Release Date: December 2010
This topic page summarizes the evidence for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations on counseling for interventions to prevent falls in older adults.
| This is a partial update to the evidence for the recommendations on counseling for household and recreational injuries. |
As part of the USPSTF's ongoing commitment to clarity about its work and methods, the USPSTF invites public comment on all draft recommendation statements. As a result, the recommendation on interventions to prevent falls in older adults does not appear with this accompanying background review. The USPSTF invited public comments on its draft recommendation statement on interventions to prevent falls in older adults from January 12 to February 9, 2011. Once finalized, the recommendation statement will reflect any changes made based on the public comments received and will be available on this page. |
