The ESACA project \u201cAging safely in Alentejo - Understanding for action\u201d was designed to promote the healthy aging of older people in Alentejo by preventing the occurrence of falls and violence. This study aimed to report the ESACA protocol and the preliminary outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The ESACA study has a twofold design as a cross-sectional study that included retrospective and prospective surveys. The participants were 508 community-dwelling older people. Assessments included falls, the risk of violence against older people, sociodemographic characteristics, health-related measurements, fear of falling, anthropometric measures and body composition, functional physical fitness, physical activity, and environmental hazards.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Among the participants, 43% were fallers, 21% were recurrent fallers, and 22% were victims of one or more kinds of violence (psychological: 17.1%, physical: 5.6%, and patrimonial: 3.0%). Moreover, the cumulative results suggested high risk on several risk factors for falling (7 factors: 0.6% to 2 factors: 17.4%) and of\u00a0 violence (26.7%).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>In the ESACA project, a wide range of potential influencing factors on falls and violence risk factors were measured, and comprehensive quality control measures were applied. Overall, the results suggest that for falls and violence prevention strategies to be effective, it is essential to evaluate, diagnose, and inform all stakeholders in a directed and useful way. Moreover, we believe that our project outcomes may help change mindsets and behaviors by involving people in active aging and well-being programs that promote exercise and avoid isolation.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-021-10807-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,10]],"date-time":"2021-11-10T17:17:19Z","timestamp":1636564639000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Aging safely in Alentejo \u2013 understanding for action - preventing falls and violence against older people: study rationale, aims, design, and preliminary results"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8111-1455","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catarina","family":"Pereira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Bravo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Gorete","family":"Reis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Felismina","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,10]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"10807_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1618","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.2005.53455.x","volume":"53","author":"SE Lamb","year":"2005","unstructured":"Lamb SE, J\u00f8rstad-Stein EC, Hauer K, Becker C, Europe PoFN, Group OC.
