Fall rates refer to the frequency at which people experience accidental falls, typically in a healthcare or elderly care setting. This research area focuses on understanding the causes and risk factors associated with falls, as well as developing interventions to prevent falls and reduce their impact on individuals' health and well-being. Researchers in this field may study factors such as balance and gait impairments, environmental hazards, medication use, and chronic health conditions that increase the likelihood of falling. The ultimate goal of fall rates research is to improve safety measures and prevent serious injuries resulting from falls.
