TI  - Prevention of falls in community-dwelling older adults: U.S. Preventive Services 
      Task Force recommendation statement.
PG  - 197-204
AB  - DESCRIPTION: Update of the 1996 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) 
      recommendation statement on counseling to prevent household and recreational 
      injuries, including falls. METHODS: The USPSTF reviewed new evidence on the 
      effectiveness and harms of primary care-relevant interventions to prevent falls 
      in community-dwelling older adults. The interventions were grouped into 5 main 
      categories: multifactorial clinical assessment (with or without direct 
      intervention), clinical management (with or without screening), clinical 
      education or behavioral counseling, home hazard modification, and exercise or 
      physical therapy. RECOMMENDATIONS: The USPSTF recommends exercise or physical 
      therapy and vitamin D supplementation to prevent falls in community-dwelling 
      adults aged 65 years or older who are at increased risk for falls. (Grade B 
      recommendation)The USPSTF does not recommend automatically performing an in-depth 
      multifactorial risk assessment in conjunction with comprehensive management of 
      identified risks to prevent falls in community-dwelling adults aged 65 years or 
      older because the likelihood of benefit is small. In determining whether this 
      service is appropriate in individual cases, patients and clinicians should 
      consider the balance of benefits and harms on the basis of the circumstances of 
      prior falls, comorbid medical conditions, and patient values. (Grade C 
      recommendation).
