영어 초록

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the situation when falls occur and to identify the relationships
of fall history and functional levels among community-dwelling aged. Methods: Interviews were conducted with
301 aged 65 or over residing in the city of Jeonju. A structured questionnaire consisting of items on sociodemographics,
functional levels, and fall related characteristics was used and data were collected from July to
September 2006. Data were analyzed with the SPSS/WIN program. Results: Among recent fallers, 63.8% had
diagnosed diseases when the fall occurred, 86.7% were fearful of a recurrent fall while 90.1% stated they were
increasing their carefulness but that led to a decrease in activity. Recent fallers had more diseases and greater
difficulty in mobility than nonfallers. Significant differences were found between ADL and fall history as well as
the existence of interrelationships with fall history and certain physical functions such as auditory and visual disturbances,
eyeglasses, dizziness, and diseases. Conclusion: Based on the high incidences of falls and the risk
factors identified in this study, provision of education and intervention programs to prevent falls are needed for
community-dwelling aged.
