December 5, 2023 – The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force seeks comments on a draft recommendation statement and draft evidence review on interventions to prevent falls in community-dwelling older adults. The Task Force found that exercise can help prevent falls in adults 65 and older who are at increased risk. Additional interventions might be helpful for some older adults. The draft recommendation statement and draft evidence review are available for review and public comment from December 5, 2023, to January 8, 2024 here. Note the public comment period has been expanded from the standard four weeks to five weeks to account for the holidays.
