Multicenter Study
A selection strategy was developed for fracture reduction programs in frail older people.
The aims of this study were to develop and evaluate a simple index for assessing the risk of fractures after a fall and to propose a selection strategy for identifying elderly individuals at high risk of both falls and fall-related fractures. ⋯ The index could help rationalize fracture prevention programs for frail older people.
