Abstract:Objective To reduce the incidence of fall among the elderly in the community. Methods A multi-stage cluster sampling method was used to select 894 community older adults, whose fall risks and foot problems were screened utilizing STEADI related tools and a self-made atlas.Based on this, the older adults received stratified and interdisciplinary intervention for 6 months accor-ding to the STEADI fall risk classification intervention strategy. Results Totally 705(78.9%) older adults in the community were low-risk for fall, 175(19.6%) were middle-risk, and 14(1.6%) were high-risk. A total of 790 elderly people suffered from foot problems, and 333(42.2%) of them experienced the foot pain and foot structure problems which closely related to fall. Totally 135(15.1%) elderly people fell before the intervention, the number was 51(6.2%, 818 follow-up) after the intervention, the incidence of fall was significantly lower than that before the intervention (P<0.01). Conclusion The STEADI fall prevention strategy is conducive to reducing the incidence of fall for the elderly in the community, which can be used to prevent fall for the elderly in community.
