Does risk analysis of fall in an assisted living community?
The utilization of the fall risk model can aid in identifying the risk factors and the probability of the causes associated with documented falls to identify residents with the propensity to have a fall-related injury given a small set of data. Additional research will enhance the findings of additional fall-related causes.
In the middle-aged and elderly, CHD risk increased with lower DBP at any level of SBP>/=120 mm Hg, suggesting that higher PP was an important component of risk. Neither SBP nor DBP was superior to PP in predicting CHD risk.
