Abstract

Falls and related injuries in elderly persons are an important medical and social problem. Causes of falls are significantly different depending on the location and conditions of living, for example in own homes or social care institutions of (nursing homes, boarding houses). In many countries, there are comprehensive programs aimed at the prevention of falls in elderly persons. The article describes the main causes of falls and related economic losses due to injuries and fractures. Given the high prevalence of falls among people over 65 years, the activities aimed at preventing of falls are described. It was concluded that the use of calcium supplements in combination with vitamin D allows to reduce the risk of falls and thereby improve the quality of life of the senior age group.
