INTRODUCTION
Falls in older Australians are a significant public health issue with one in three older people falling one or more times each year.
METHOD
Many fall prevention randomized controlled trials have been conducted in Australia as well as across the world.
RESULTS
The findings of these studies now constitute a substantial evidence base that can provide direction for health and lifestyle interventions for preventing falls in older people. This research evidence has contributed to health policy in Australia to some extent, but is yet to be widely implemented into practice. This opinion piece overviews previous policy initiatives and describes a new Partnership research program funded by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), which seeks to further influence health policy and address the ongoing research-practice gap.
引言
在澳大利亚，老年人跌倒问题十分严重，每三名老年人中就有一人每年会跌倒一次或多次。
方法
在澳大利亚乃至世界各地，许多预防跌倒的随机对照试验已经开展。
结果
这些研究的结果现在构成了一个重要的证据基础，可以为老年人预防跌倒的健康和生活方式干预措施提供指导。这一研究证据在一定程度上为澳大利亚的卫生政策做出了贡献，但尚未广泛付诸实践。本文概述了以往的政策举措，并介绍了由澳大利亚国家卫生与医学研究理事会（NHMRC）资助的一个新的合作研究计划，该计划旨在进一步影响卫生政策，并解决持续存在的研究与实践脱节问题。
