Preventing and Managing Frailty, Falls and Fractures
Frailty, falls, and fractures represent interconnected health challenges that significantly impact older adults’ quality of life, independence, and overall health outcomes. Frailty increases vulnerability to health stressors, while falls are a leading cause of injury and loss of autonomy among older individuals. Fractures, especially hip and vertebral fractures, are common consequences of falls and are associated with high morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. This course equips healthcare professionals with evidence‑based knowledge and practical skills necessary to prevent, assess, and manage frailty, reduce the risk of falls, and optimize fracture outcomes. Participants will learn screening tools, multidisciplinary intervention strategies, rehabilitation principles, and best‑practice prevention measures tailored for older patients.

Frequently asked questions
Frailty is a clinical syndrome marked by decreased physiological reserves and increased vulnerability to stressors, often leading to falls and adverse health outcomes.
Factors include muscle weakness, balance problems, polypharmacy, visual impairment, environmental hazards, and cognitive decline.
Fractures can be prevented through bone health optimization, fall prevention strategies, exercise, adequate calcium/vitamin D intake, and osteoporosis treatment.
Hip fractures represent one of the most serious outcomes, often leading to disability, prolonged hospitalization, and increased mortality.
Tools like the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and the STEADI guidelines help quantify fall risk and guide interventions.
Frailty, falls, and fracture management require coordination across disciplines to address physical, psychological, and environmental factors efficiently.
