TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2022.
Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : According to a report by the French Directorate for Research, Evaluation, and Statistics (DREES) written in 2017, a total of 728,000 people in France lived in or frequented a nursing home for older adults in 2015, i.e., 10 percent of people aged 75 or over, and a third of those aged 90 or over. Eight out of ten people among this population lived in nursing homes for dependent older people (EHPAD). Falls are a frequent cause of admissions to nursing homes. They often lead to a loss of independence and an increase in morbidity and mortality. They are the fifth leading cause of death in older populations. We aim to study the potential impact of lockdown measures on this population.
