Falls and fall-related injuries are a common and serious problem for older people. People aged 65 and older have the highest risk of falling, with 30% of people older than 65 and 50% of people older than 80 falling at least once a year. This clinical guideline is for healthcare and other professionals and staff who care for older people who are at risk of falling. It provides evidence and recommendations on the assessment and prevention of falls in older people. It extends and replaces ‘Falls: assessment and prevention of falls in older people’ (NICE clinical guideline 21; 2004), by including additional recommendations about preventing falls in people admitted to hospital (inpatients). This document includes all the recommendations, details of how they were developed, and summaries of the evidence they were based on. (Edited publisher abstract)
