Abstract:
The incidence of falls is high among the elderly population,particularly in patients with dementia.It was associated with their quality of life,accelerated disease progression,and reducing life expectancy.However,there is still a lack of relevant guidelines and recommendations for the occurrence,prediction,and intervention of falls in people with dementia.By reviewing the epidemiology,pathogenesis,risk factors,prediction models,and intervention measures related to falls in patients with dementia to provide a reference for clinicians to manage the whole process management of senile dementia patients.It was shown a higher risk of falling in elderly with dementia,which may be associated with visuospatial impairment,executive dysfunction,motor dysfunction,poor nutritional status,and a decline in daily living ability.Falling directly affects the prognosis of patients and increases the social and medical burden,which needs to be paid attention to.
