- Risk factors for falls among older adults: a review of the literature. (2013, background): “3%) accounted for a very low proportion of falls in this review [6].”
- Challenges, issues and trends in fall detection systems (2013, neutral): “pneumonia and pressure sores [5,6].”
- Summary of the Updated American Geriatrics Society/British Geriatrics Society Clinical Practice Guideline for Prevention of Falls in Older Persons (2011, background): “The risk of falling and sustaining an injury as the result of a fall increases with age.(1,2) Falls are not only associated with morbidity and mortality in the older population, but are also linked to poorer overall functioning and early admission to long-term care facilities.”
