Journal Article
Lewis, S. R., McGarrigle, L., Pritchard, M. W., Bosco, A., Yang, Y., Gluchowski, A., …Todd, C. (in press). Population-based interventions for preventing falls and fall-related injuries in older people. Cochrane Library, 1(1), CD013789. https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD013789.pub2

Around one-third of older adults aged 65 years or older who live in the community fall each year. Interventions to prevent falls can be designed to target the whole community, rather than selected individuals. These population-level interventions may...
