By collecting data on hip fractures among people over 66 years of age in the Stovner district of Oslo, we were able to evaluate a programme to prevent fall accidents in the elderly population. The programme has several approaches. It includes information for both the elderly and the personnel working with them on accident risk factors and identification and removal of risk factors at home. The incidence of hip fractures among those over 66 years of age in the Stovner district was reduced from 30/1,000 in 1990 to 16/1,000 in 1996. There was a significant downward trend during the whole period (p < 0.001). A similar reduction was not seen for the rest of Oslo. We believe that the programme has contributed to reducing the number of hip fractures. However, as several approaches were tried simultaneously, it is difficult to decide whether one particular approach was more efficient than the others.
通过收集奥斯陆市斯托夫纳区66岁以上人群髋部骨折的数据，我们得以评估一项预防老年人群跌倒事故的计划。该计划有多种方法。它包括为老年人及其护理人员提供有关事故风险因素的信息，以及识别和消除家庭中的风险因素。斯托夫纳区66岁以上人群的髋部骨折发生率从1990年的千分之30降至1996年的千分之16。在整个期间有显著的下降趋势（p < 0.001）。奥斯陆市其他地区未出现类似的下降情况。我们认为该计划有助于减少髋部骨折的数量。然而，由于同时尝试了多种方法，很难确定一种特定方法是否比其他方法更有效。
