Descripción
Eat Well, Fall Less is a multiphase retrospective descriptive analysis of single event fallers and repeat fallers. Data source: Documented falls occurring between October 1, 2010 and October 31, 2012.
Chart Review data on weight loss and decline in Hemoglobin levels were collected 12 months, 6 months and 3months and 1 month prior to the first fall along as the most recent value prior to the event. Additional data on vitamin D levels and C-reactive Protein values will be collected at the 12 month, 6month, and 1 month prior to the first fall
Statistical Analysis using SAS version 9.1. a two tailed t-test was performed to evaluate differences in HGB characteristics between single and frequent fallers. One way ANOVA evaluated changes in Hgb, c-Reactive Protein, vitamin D values and weight over time are being collected.
Two constellations of fallers emerged. Those with and those without dementia. The two groups appeared to have different nutrition risk factors. All statistical analysis was done using JMP Pro (version 10.0.0, SAS Institute, Inc, Cary, NC). Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05

| Observational Single Event Faller one documented fall as an in-patient. It is hypothesized that the nutrition factors present prior to the first fall may be related to fall frequency. Data on exposure to nutrition supplementation will be collected for future analysis. Subpopulation alalysis of individuals with dementia will also be conducted | |
| Observational Multiple event faller multiple falls documented during in-patient stay It is hypothesized that frequent fallers will demonstrate statistically greater weight decline, Hgb decline, Vitamin D deficiency and Higher C-Reactive Protein values prior to the first fall. Data on exposure to nutrition supplementation will be collected for future analysis.. Subpopulation analysis of individuals with dementia will also be conducted. |
