The risk of falls among the aging population: A systematic review and meta-analysis

This study aims to clarify the risk factors for falls to prevent severe consequences in older adults.

We searched the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar databases using the terms "risk factors" OR "predicting factors" OR "predictor" AND "fall" OR "drop" to identify all relevant studies and compare their results. The study participants were divided into two groups, the "fall group" and the "control group", and differences in demographic characteristics, lifestyles, and comorbidities were compared.
