Falls among the elderly have important physical and psychological consequences. Interventions of proven effectiveness exist at individual and population level for their prevention. Studies conducted in other countries have estimated the prevalence and identified the health and environmental risk factors associated with falls, while in Italy, the information available is limited to elderly living in protected residences. To estimate therefore the prevalence of falls and to estimate the association between these events and different risk factors, a series of questions on falls and their possible determinants were included in Studio Argento, a cross-sectional survey of the state of health of the non-institutionalized population > or = 65 years of age that was conducted in 2002 in 11 Italian Regions.
