Injurious falls, especially those leading to bone fracture, are major causes of death and disability among older people. Our aim was to measure the association of nutritional factors and physical activity with falls leading to fracture among Iranian older adults.
This is the second phase of a previously published case-control study on 300 patients and 590 controls.
In addition to the socio-economic factors that were reported before, our results revealed that consumption of fish, vegetables, fruits, and nuts reduced the risk of falling, whereas consumption of cheese, red meat, and sweets raised the risk of falls among the participants.
The results of our study suggested that diets rich in fish meat fruits and vegetables should be encouraged in the everyday life of older adults. We suggest health officials to take these important results into consideration when planning protective measures.
伤害性跌倒，尤其是导致骨折的跌倒，是老年人死亡和残疾的主要原因。我们的目的是衡量营养因素和身体活动与伊朗老年人骨折性跌倒的关系。
这是之前发表的一项病例对照研究的第二阶段，共纳入 300 名患者和 590 名对照。
除了之前报告的社会经济因素外，我们的结果还表明，食用鱼类、蔬菜、水果和坚果可降低跌倒风险，而食用奶酪、红色肉类和甜食会增加参与者跌倒的风险。
我们的研究结果表明，富含鱼肉、水果和蔬菜的饮食应在老年人的日常生活中得到鼓励。我们建议卫生官员在制定保护措施时考虑这些重要结果。
