BACKGROUND
the present study aimed to investigate gender difference in the perceived cause (intrinsic or extrinsic) of falls leading to fracture (FLF) and its association with selected social, health, and environmental factors.
METHODS
All patients aged 60 years or older who were admitted to two referral hospitals due to FLF from August 1, 2018, to the end of May 2019, were included in the study. An interview-administered questionnaire was used to collect the required data from 300 participants (136 men and 164 women).
RESULTS
When compared to men, women were less physical active, were less smoker, had lower education, had more vision problems, used more sedatives, and were more satisfied with their life (P less than 0.05 for all). No statistical difference was observed between men and women about the perceived cause of Fall.
CONCLUSIONS
Although women and men were the same in the perceived cause of fall, they had considerably riskier lifestyles and lower health status. These factors include education, vision condition, physical activity, occupation, and taking sleeping pills. On the other hand, men were more smoker and alcohol user.
背景
本研究旨在探讨导致骨折的跌倒（FLF）的感知原因（内在或外在）的性别差异及其与选定的社会、健康和环境因素的关系。
方法
本研究纳入了 2018 年 8 月 1 日至 2019 年 5 月底期间因 FLF 入住两家转诊医院的所有 60 岁及以上患者。使用访谈式问卷调查表从 300 名参与者（136 名男性和 164 名女性）中收集所需数据。
结果
与男性相比，女性的身体活动较少，吸烟较少，教育程度较低，视力问题较多，使用镇静剂较多，对生活的满意度较高（所有 P 值均小于 0.05）。男性和女性对跌倒原因的感知没有统计学差异。
结论
尽管女性和男性在跌倒原因的感知上相同，但他们的生活方式风险更大，健康状况更差。这些因素包括教育、视力状况、身体活动、职业和服用安眠药。另一方面，男性吸烟和饮酒者更多。
