| Research Abstract |
To identify risk factors for the fracture of elderly, 192 residents aged 60 or more who attend annual health check at small town in Tottori prefecture were examined their physical fitness such as muscle strength, postural stability, promptness in movement, visual acuity and walking ability. Bone mass in calcaneus was also measured by SXA.After one year from examination, all participants were confirmed whether they had experiences of falls using daily recording method of fall accidents. Although one fifth for men and one third for women experienced falls, percent of frequent faller is higher in men than in women. Elderly over 80 or more tend to be inactive socially and physically, the chance of fall seems to be decreased. There are significant colerationship between increased risk for falls and some physical fitness indices. For men, postural instability, using glasses and past history of having injured by fall thought to be the risk factors for fall. on the other hand, for women only using glasses is significant. To prevent falls, target population would be physically frail but socially active elderly. Because of the small number of subject of this study, we could not identify the risk for fracture. We are now carrying on the same study with large number of subject and enlarged observation period.
