All participants were surveyed about demographic and health-related information, mood, vision and hearing impairment, self-rated health and retrospective falls, and a test of balance was administered. Univariate and multivariate negative binomial regression was used to identify factors associated with a greater number of falls.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Result<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Study participants were 1290 people aged 60\u201398 years (mean 68.2 years, SD \u00b16.5). One hundred and seventy-seven falls were reported. One hundred and eleven (8.6%) participants reported one fall in the past year, 17 (1.3%) participants reported two falls and 10 (0.8%) participants reported three or more falls. Univariate analysis showed that age, living alone, presence of a medical condition, medication usage, visual impairment, poor subjective body sense perception, low mood, poor self-rated health and poor balance were associated with a greater number of falls in the past year. Multivariate analysis identified presence of a medical condition (incidence rate ratio (IRR)=1.40, 95%\u2009CI 1.19 to 1.67), living alone (IRR=2.46, 95%\u2009CI 1.12 to 5.41), visual impairment (IRR=1.46, 95%\u2009CI 1.03 to 2.08), walking aid use (IRR=2.29, 95%\u2009CI 1.12 to 4.69) and impaired balance (IRR=1.05, 95%\u2009CI 1.00 to 1.10) to be significantly associated with a greater number of falls in the past year.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>More falls occurred in older Chinese people with presence of a medical condition, living alone, visual impairment, used a walking aid and impaired balance.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/injuryprev-2017-042597","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,23]],"date-time":"2018-02-23T20:35:16Z","timestamp":1519418116000},"page":"31-35","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Risk factors for falls among older community dwellers in Shenzhen, China"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Haibin","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chronic Disease Prevention division, Shenzhen Center for Chronic Disease Control, Shenzhen, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ke","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"},{"name":"The George Institute for Global Health, University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Tiedemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chronic Disease Prevention division, Shenzhen Center for Chronic Disease Control, Shenzhen, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Sherrington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025092501260578000_25.1.31.1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
