摘要：In order to examine factors associated with falls, we performed an interview survey to 78 elderly subjects who had experienced a fracture due to falls. The contents of the survey included fractured region, medical history, physical condition, and circumstances at the time of falling. 1) The ratio male to female of the subjects was 1 : 2.8 and the fractured region observed most frequently was the neck of femur (52.6%). 2) Of these subjects, 85.0% had medical problems in circulatory, nervous, and kinetic systems. 3) The decrease in attention level to the circumstances was found to be a major cause for falls; inattention to height difference, distracted at tention, carelessness for the slippy ground, etc. From the results obtained, it would be important for the elderly to avoid falls that they should lead their lives as active as possible and that their personal arrangements should always be well prepared.
