文摘

Biological and socioeconomic aspects of occurrence and place of falls in older residents of a very large and diverse city of Brazil were identified. Multilevel multinomial logistic analysis were used to identify the contextual factors associated with indoor and outdoor falls. The outdoor fallers were not statistically different from non-fallers, but who had the last fall indoors seem to have worst health status. In multivariate analysis, we found a significant higher prevalence ratio of outdoor falls, but not indoor falls, among the oldest old group. Moderate homicide rate was a factor associated with increased prevalence of indoor falls, when compared with non-fallers.
