Falls varied across older adults’ health and social profiles

The estimated share reporting falls ranged from 17.11% in a low-burden, independent group to 57.08% in a group with complex dependency across several areas.The estimated share reporting falls ranged from 17.11% in a low-burden, independent group to 57.08% in a group with complex dependency across several areas.
