DISCUSSION
The intervention reduced reported falls by 31% in a group
of frail older people. However, the proportion of frequent
fallers (
2 falls) was not significantly different for the in-
tervention and control groups. The subgroup analyses sug-
gest that the intervention was particularly successful in
those with a history of two or more falls in the previous
year. In this subgroup, the proportion of frequent fallers
and the rate of falls could be reduced significantly by the
home intervention program.
