Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:

To assess the effectiveness of community‐based interventions to prevent falls and fall‐related injury in community‐dwelling older persons.

The null hypothesis postulated is that interventions targeted at the population level do not reduce incidence of fall‐related injury in people aged 65 years and over.
