Abstract
A redução do risco de quedas nas pessoas maiores de 65 anos com fragilidade surge como uma prioridade da OMS pelas lesões mais comuns relacionadas com as quedas, sendo uma das principais causas de dor, incapacidade, perda de independência e morte prematura. Há duas décadas que a OMS estuda e caracteriza a severidade das quedas na população com mais de 65 anos de idade, assim como as medidas de envelhecimento ativo, os determinantes de saúde relacionados e os desafios na implementação de boas práticas a nível mundial.
