Resumo: Falls have become a significant part of public health problems and occupy a prominent position in health statistics in most countries, including Brazil. This study is an integrative review of the literature whose methodology seeks the systematized research on the problem of falls, with the purpose of identifying possible knowledge gaps. It was verified that the female sex represents a greater proportion of hospitalizations and attendances in emergency and emergency services, whereas in males the fall usually has as main outcome the death. The dimensions of occurrences involving elderly people who suffer falls are multiple and reinforce the need for studies to support the formulation of public policies to prevent this disease.

Este estudio se ocupa de una metodología de revisión integradora de la literatura que trata la investigación sistemática sobre el problema de las caídas, con el fin de identificar posibles lagunas en el conocimiento. Se encontró que la hembra es mayor proporción de hospitalizaciones y visitas a urgencias en los servicios de atención de emergencia, mientras que en los hombres la caída por lo general tiene como principal resultado la muerte. Las dimensiones de los incidentes que involucran a personas de edad avanzada que sufren caídas son múltiples y refuerzan la necesidad de estudios para apoyar la formulación de políticas públicas para la prevención de estos eventos. As quedas tornaram-se parte significativa dos problemas de saúde pública e ocupam posição de destaque nas estatísticas de saúde na maioria dos países, inclusive no Brasil. Este estudo trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura cuja metodologia busca a investigação sistematizada sobre a problemática das quedas, com o propósito de identificação das possíveis lacunas do conhecimento. Verificou-se que o sexo feminino representa maior proporção de internações e atendimentos em serviços de urgências e emergências, enquanto que, no sexo masculino, a queda normalmente tem como principal desfecho o óbito. As dimensões de ocorrências envolvendo idosos que sofrem quedas são múltiplas e reforçam a necessidade de estudos para fundamentar a formulação de políticas públicas de prevenção desse agravo.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2016-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/3559510.23925/2176-901X.2016v19i4p363-382Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 19 n. 4 (2016); 363-3822176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/35595/24381Copyright (c) 2017 Revista Kairós : Gerontologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarros, Iarema Fabieli Oliveira dePereira, Marisa BastosWeiller, Teresinha Heck2018-06-09T16:47:31Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/35595Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2018-06-09T16:47:31Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
