A fall is defined as an event that results in a person being unintentionally lying on the ground, floor, or some other lower level. Falls are a significant public health problem worldwide. An estimated 424,000 deaths occur annually, making falls the second leading cause of death from unintentional injuries after road traffic injuries. The highest death rates in all regions of the world are among people over 60 years of age. Fall prevention is a strategy to reduce the risk of falls.
