Falls is an important cause for mortality and morbidity in older adults. The fall risk assessment is an integral component of fall prevention in older adults. The international classification of function, disability and health (ICF) can be an ideal comprehensive model for fall risk assessment. There is lack of information relating ICF and fall risk assessment in community dwelling older adults. In this study we tried to assess the fall risk using different domains of ICF using various clinical tools. A total of 255 subjects were recruited through convenient sampling method from geriatric clinic (OPD) of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. The study was single session cross-section design. The body mass index (BMI), grip strength, depression score (Geriatric depression scale:short form; GDS-S) and co morbidities were used to assess body function and structure domain, timed up and go (TUG), Berg balance scale (BBS) and elderly fall screening test (EFST) scores were used for activity domain, selfreported cause of fall, medications and uses of assistive device for environmental factors. Then the association of body function and structure, activity and environmental factors were determined with falls. There was an association of fall in analysis in subjects with no fall and one or more falls for, BMI, grip strength (kg), GDS-S score, no. of co morbidities, chronic pain, TUG, BBS, TUG (s), BBS, EFST, slip/trip, walking cane, hypoglycemic and antihypertensives medications (unadjusted and adjusted odds ratio).The diabetes, and hyper tension showed association for adjusted odds ratio only. In subjects with one fall and more than one fall, TUG, BBS, EFST, GDS-S score, NSAIDS and antidepressants use showed a significant association with fall (unadjusted and adjusted odds ratio). The ICF may be used in routine for fall risk assessment in community dwelling older adults.

Abstract Accurately identifying older adults who will experience subsequent falls is important for the provision of secondary fall prevention. The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of the Physiological Profile Assessment (PPA) – a valid and reliable fall-risk assessment [1] – in predicting subsequent falls over a 12-month period in older adults who sought for medical attention after an index fall. Seven hundred thirty-seven community-dwelling adults, aged 70 years and older, who were seen at the Vancouver General Hospital Fall Prevention Clinic, completed the PPA at their initial visit. Falls over the subsequent 12 months were tracked prospectively via monthly falls calendars. All individuals received geriatric care at baseline. Binary logistic regressions were performed to determine the accuracy of classifying two prospective faller types: 1) no additional falls; 2) one or more additional fall(s). Baseline PPA, age, and sex were entered as independent variables. During the 12 month observation period, 345 participants had no additional falls (Age:81.3±6.6yrs;Female=251) and 392 fell one or more times (Age:82.3±6.5yrs;Female=230). The classification accuracy was 51.3% for those who had no additional falls and 64.8% for those with one or more additional fall(s) (Overall:58.5%;χ2=29.0;PPA:β=-0.21;Age:β=-0.01;Sex:β=-60). The PPA was not able to accurately differentiate between those who did and did not subsequently fall. Fall-risk assessment sensitivity and specificity should be improved in older adults seeking medical attention following an index fall to inform secondary fall prevention. [1] Lord SR, et al., 2003.
