Description
Dhika Dharmansyah and co-authors scope the tools used to judge fall risk in older adults across Southeast Asia, and ask if those tools fit local life. Falls are the second cause of death from unintentional injury round the world, and the burden sits heaviest in poorer countries. Checking fall risk is core to prevention. But most check tools were built in the West, and it is unclear which are used, or even valid, in the 11 ASEAN nations.
The review followed standard scoping rules and searched three big databases. It mapped which tools appear in studies from the region and how they are used in clinics. It also weighed how local customs and daily habits shape fall risk in ways imported tools may miss. The aim is practical: screening in the region should measure the risks older people there in fact face.
