Abstract
Falls have been and continue to be a leading cause of death among older persons in the United States, affecting at least one in three persons, or as many as one in two persons over 65 years of age each year. This present Special Edition thus sought to examine current research concerning the causes, consequences, and intervention approaches in the context of falls injuries among the elderly.
