Falling once, falling again? Recurrence of home falls-related injuries among older adults in France

Our findings highlight that prior severe injury predicted subsequent HLIs: a history of severe trauma significantly raises the probability of subsequent HLIs. Prevention strategies should prioritize avoiding the first severe injury, promoting the use of walking aids, and improving home safety conditions. Tailored interventions addressing frailty and living environments are crucial for reducing injury recurrence among older adults.

Abstract

Our findings highlight that prior severe injury predicted subsequent HLIs: a history of severe trauma significantly raises the probability of subsequent HLIs. Prevention strategies should prioritize avoiding the first severe injury, promoting the use of walking aids, and improving home safety conditions. Tailored interventions addressing frailty and living environments are crucial for reducing injury recurrence among older adults.
