Title: Psychological and educational interventions for preventing falls in older people living in the community
Good to know: The combination of psychological and educational interventions compared to standard therapy likely reduces the rate of falls (moderate certainty of evidence), without affecting adverse events.
Limitations: There is a particular dearth of evidence for low- to middle-income countries.
Evidence: Cochrane Review (publication in October 2024); inclusion of 37 studies with 17,478 participants; comparison of psychological and educational interventions with standard care to assess the benefits and harms of psychological and educational interventions for fall prevention in older people.
