A study of 64 elderly people living in high-rise apartments found that 37.5 percent reported falling in the previous year. The annual reported fall rate was 625 per 1,000 persons per year. Fifty-eight percent of those who fell received medical treatment. Dizziness and syncope were reported to be the cause of 80 percent of falls. Self-reported poor health status and disability in vision and gait were strongly associated with falling. The sex of the subject, marital status, advanced age, and alcohol and sedative use were less associated with falling.
一项针对64名居住在高层公寓中的老年人的研究发现，37.5%的人报告称前一年曾摔倒过。每年报告的摔倒发生率为每1000人中有625人次。摔倒的人中有58%接受了治疗。据报告，80%的摔倒原因是头晕和昏厥。自我报告的健康状况不佳以及视力和步态残疾与摔倒密切相关。受试者的性别、婚姻状况、高龄以及酒精和镇静剂的使用与摔倒的关联较小。
