In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Falls in older adults have an annual incidence between 23 and 34% for persons of 65 years and older. The lack of transfer of promising research results on falls prevention to daily practice may have several explanations. One of the first concerns for that matter may be a valid and sensitive selection of the persons at risk who are eligible for fall prevention interventions Goals of the prospective obeservational study: 1. To validate a new, comprehensive, multifactorial screeningsintrument to predict the risk on falls in community dwelling, Belgian, older adults (\>65years or older). 2. To optimize the new, comprehensive, multifactorial screeningsintrument and to specify correct cut off scores Researchers will compare the data of the accuracy of new algorithm with the current Belgian policy. Participants will participate in a one-time testing moment, where they will be asked some que
