It is also important to mention that the greater part of falls
occur at home, whether inside or outside (in the garden), in
bathrooms or kitchens (probably due to extrinsic factors such as
slippery floors), during attempts to reach the bathroom quickly
(due to frequent urination or incontinence).13 Poor ambient
lighting is also cited as a factor that increases the level of risk.
As a result the rate of falls increases at night and among people
with poor eyesight.23
