Population-based interventions in the form of multi-strategy, multi-focused programmes may reduce injuries from falls in the elderly.
A Cochrane review included five studies on coordinated, community-wide, multi-strategy initiatives for reducing fall-related injuries among older people (65 years or older). There were no RCTs. Significant decreases or downward trends in fall-related injuries were reported in all of the included studies with the relative reduction in fall-related injuries ranging from 6 to 33%.
