Fall-Proof your life: simple education cuts risks for seniors

NCT ID NCT07499895

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a structured, interactive fall-prevention education program helps older adults at high risk of falls adopt safer behaviors. Sixty-six participants aged 65+ were randomly assigned to either two 25-minute education sessions or a brochure. Researchers measured changes in fall-related behaviors and knowledge. The goal is to see if this low-cost approach can reduce falls and improve quality of life.
