Halk sağlığı sorunu olarak yaşlılık dönemi düşmeleri

Öz:

Düşme her yaş grubunda görülmekle birlikte özellikle yaşlı ve çocuklarda daha büyük öneme sahiptir. Düşme sonucu ciddi yaralanmalar, kırıklar ve kafa travması olabileceği gibi ölümle sonuçlanan vakalar da vardır. Ayrıca oluşan travma sonucu yapılan tanısal işlemler ve tedaviler, iş gücü kaybı ile bunların getirdiği maliyetler dikkate alındığında hem ciddi bir sağlık sorunu hem de ciddi bir ekonomik yük olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Ülkemizde ve yurt dışında özellikle yaşlılık dönemindeki düşmelerle ilgili birçok çalışma ve yayın bulunmaktadır. Yurt dışında düşmenin önlenmesi için çeşitli kuruluşlar eğitimler düzenlemiş, rehberler geliştirmiştir. Ülkemiz nüfusu da hızlı bir şekilde yaşlanmakta olduğu için yaşlılık dönemi düşmeleri daha ön plana çıkacaktır. Düşme, büyük ölçüde önlenebilir bir halk sağlığı sorunu olduğundan makalemizde konunun önemi vurgulanmak istendi.

Fall injuries in the elderly people as a public health problem

Öz:

Fall injuries might be seen in any age group and it is an important public health problem especially in the elderly people and children. Falls might cause serious injuries, fractures, head traumas and in severe cases it might result in mortality. The diagnostic and therapeutic workup after fall injuries may significantly contribute to the workload of healthcare workers and also have a negative economic impact. There are plenty of studies and articles on fall injuries in the elderly people in the medical literature. There are also many guidelines and educational activities for the prevention of the fall injuries in countries with high elderly population. As a result of the expected increase in the median age of the Turkish population, falls in elderly will be an important issue in the future. This article reviews the falls in elderly and emphasizes the preventable aspect of this public health problem.
