“…4 The most independent elderly individuals are more exposed to extrinsic environmental factors, such as: poor lighting; a disorganized environment with many obstacles in their path; carpets; smooth surfaces; high or narrow stairs; the lack of a handrail in hallways and bathrooms; beds and chairs of inadequate height; the use of sandals or poorly fitted shoes; and slippery slopes and poorly-conserved public sidewalks with holes or irregularities, which expressively increase the risk of falls. 25,26 Elderly individuals with more severe dementia are more dependent on their caregivers and may suffer less falls due to the fact that they are constantly supervised and have restricted mobility.…”

“…16 Relevant findings in the literature on falls in the elderly have also showed statistically significant relationships (p=0.035) between falls and medication use by the elderly. 17 Polypharmacy associated with inadequate prescription of medications is also related to the worse prognosis resulting from falls. [18][19] Some authors have investigated the association between the use of medication and the occurrence of fracture due to falls by means of inferential statistics.…”

“…Such peculiarities therefore greatly interfere in the pharmacokinetics and the medicinal properties of the drugs, which may lead to pharmacological effects such as an increase in adverse reactions. 17,22 All of these changes that the elderly undergo in their clinical conditions and the concomitant use of medications stand out as factors that should be evaluated by the health team. 23 In this context, this study ratifies the NANDA-I Taxonomy through the diagnosis of the risk of falls.…”

“…26,27 A presença de algumas doenças e o uso de múltiplos medicamentos são considerados fatores de risco para ocorrência de quedas em idosos. 28,29 Neste estudo, 43,4% dos idosos usavam quatro ou mais medicamentos regularmente, indicando que uma parte importante da amostra encontra-se com risco aumentado de cair.…”
