Description

Prince Okrah, Shafer Tharrington, Isaac Shin, Aaron Wagoner, Katelyn Woodsmall, and Deborah Jehu review risk factors for mild brain injury from falls in older adults in two thousand twenty-three. Mild brain injuries often go undiagnosed, which delays care. About four in five such injuries in older adults stem from falls, yet the drivers were unclear.

The review kept only forward-looking studies of adults aged sixty and up. Searches ran across six databases plus grey sources in late two thousand twenty-two. Two reviewers screened each paper, with a third to settle disputes. Outcomes spanned injury risk, fall rates, and counts of fallers with and without injury. The work sets a base for spotting who needs fall checks most.
