Interest in falls, and morbidity and mortality related to falling, first gathered momentum from the publication of a standard in the National Service Framework for Older People ( DH 2001 ). Since then the topic has seen investment and disinvestment as interest ebbs and flows. The recent European Symposium on Calcified Tissues held in Barcelona (May 24-28) did much to renew enthusiasm and debate.
