Abstract:Falls are a major public health concern in the older population, and certain medication classes are a signifcant risk factor
for falls. However, knowledge is lacking among both physicians and older people, including caregivers, concerning the role
of medication as a risk factor. In the present statement, the European Geriatric Medicine Society (EuGMS) Task and Finish
group on fall-risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs), in collaboration with the EuGMS Special Interest group on Pharmacology and
the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) Geriatric Medicine Section, outlines its position regarding knowledge
dissemination on medication-related falls in older people across Europe. The EuGMS Task and Finish group is developing
educational materials to facilitate knowledge dissemination for healthcare professionals and older people. In addition, steps
in primary prevention through judicious prescribing, deprescribing of FRIDs (withdrawal and dose reduction), and gaps in
current research are outlined in this position paper.
