Abstract

The Falls in the elderly are a major cause of illness and death worldwide. Falls are associated with risk factors. Worldwide, the proportion of people aged 60 years was 14% in 2013 and is expected to increase to 19% in 2050. This quantitative descriptive study aims to understand the risk factors associated with falls in the elderly at Integrated Healthcare Center (Posyandu) Kasih Ibu located on Jl. Singgalang Satu, RT 1, RW 07, East Tangkerang Village, Pekanbaru, Riau Province. This research used a cross-sectional survey method involving 100 elderly people at Integrated Healthcare Center (posyandu), a sample of 45 people with 15 men and 30 women, selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire adopted from the Outcome Measure Toolkit for Geriatric Fall/Balance Assessment, administered before and after the fall risk and prevention webinar. The results showed that the average age of participants was 60.71 years with a standard deviation of 9.99. The majority were women, reflecting the higher prevalence of falls among women due to physiological differences. Health parameters such as maximum systolic 192 mmHg, and maximum diastolic blood pressure 130 mmHg and maximum blood glucose 371 mg/dL levels were analyzed showing a significant data influence on the risk of falls. The pre-webinar questionnaire indicated a general lack of knowledge about fall risks and prevention. Post-webinar analysis which was carried out twice and then processed using the Wilcoxon test showed a significant increase in understanding the risk of falls, with the average score increasing from 2.27 ± 0.97 to 4.27 ± 0.96 (P = 0.000). This shows that educational webinars can effectively increase older people's knowledge about the risk of falls and prevention strategies. These findings are in line with previous research highlighting the importance of continuing health education in reducing the incidence of falls and improving the quality of life of older adults.

Abstract

The bibliometric study provides an extensive summary of academic publications from 1990 to 2024 that are indexed in Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus. It highlights important research issues within geriatric syndromes, institutional contributions, regional distribution, and publication trends. 331 publications are listed in WoS, compared to 126 in Scopus. The yearly distribution patterns of the two databases are comparable, with noteworthy peaks occurring in 2000, 2010, and 2019. Strangely, there are no articles in 2024 according to both databases, which calls for more research. After Japan (35), Spain (28), and the United States (42) in terms of publications per country. Well-known establishments are Harvard Medical School and Johns Hopkins University. Two of the most often referenced studies, Inouye et al. (2007) and Tinetti et al. (1995), focus on important geriatric disorders, sarcopenia and frailty. With 25 publications, the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society takes first place. Six theme clusters, comprising fundamental concerns like disability, falls, and frailty, are revealed using keyword co-occurrence analysis. The results emphasize the necessity of ongoing financing for research on aging syndromes and draw attention to important research gaps and new trends. The sharp decline in 2024 publication numbers and dependence on two databases are acknowledged drawbacks that point to areas in need of greater research and thorough examinations in the future.
