Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a multifactorial intervention program to prevent falls among the elderly as compared to a brief intervention.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of this research is to verify if a simple multifactorial intervention program that is applicable in PC settings is more effective to decrease fall incidence than a brief advice for community-living people aged 70 or older.
