Resumen
After stating that 30% of the elderly population will suffer at leastone fall per year, and establishing that the future expectation isthat of an ageing society, it is necessary to establish which interventions will provide the most scientific evidence to reducethe number of falls or the risk of suffering them. It is necessaryto establish which intervention(s) will provide the most scientificevidence to reduce the number of falls or the risk of falling. Fallscan lead to difficulty in mobility, difficulty in carrying out Activities of Daily Living, disability and reduced social interaction. Inaddition, all of this can lead to an increase in social and healthcare costs. For this we have carried out a bibliographic review,based on the key words (fall, fall risk, fall prevention, older adultand elderly) and after passing the results through the followinginclusion criteria (person over or equal to 65 years of age, living inthe community and not suffering from uncontrolled cardiac, respiratory, visual, neurological, visual, neurological or neurologicalpathologies), and after passing the results through the followinginclusion criteria (person over or equal to 65 years of age, living inthe community and not suffering from uncontrolled pathologies),respiratory, visual, neurological and gait), we concluded that thebest intervention is the one that includes a regular intervention,plus multicomponent exercise, plus a minimum intervention timeof 5 months and if possible with a development of physical activity in a group setting.
