The intervention consisted of identifying older adults with a fall-related injury, offering them risk assessment and tailored interventions. Using registry data, we compared registered fallers in the two intervention boroughs with the remaining 13 boroughs as controls, with registered fall injuries as time-dependent exposure in Cox regression. Hazard ratios (HRs) for later hip fracture, long-term care and all-cause mortality were estimated, adjusting for the pre-intervention period.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The risk of hip fracture for the Oslo population aged 65+ years declined by 23% from 2012\u201319. HR for hip fracture amongst registered fallers in the intervention boroughs compared to the controls was 0.95 (95% CI 0.64\u20131.41). The difference was significant in men only [HR 0.45 (95% CI 0.21\u20130.95)]. The risk of admittance to long-term care was reduced [HR 0.76 (95% CI 0.62\u20130.93)]. No significant difference was seen in mortality.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Overall, the risk of later hip fracture was not significantly reduced in all registered fallers in the intervention boroughs, only in men. There was a significant decline in risk of admission to nursing homes in the intervention boroughs.
