Abstract

Objective To analyze the research hotspots and development trends of fall prevention and control among the elderly，providing references for healthcare professionals to implement effective prevention and intervention strategies. Methods A systematic search was conducted for relevant literature on fall prevention and control among the elderly in CNKI database，covering the time frame from June 1，2014，to June 1，2024. Bibliometric analysis was performed using CiteSpace 6.3.1 software. Results A total of 1，406 articles were included，showing an overall upward trend in publication volume. Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed that research hotspots were concentrated in areas such as fall risk factors，fall detection technologies，fear of falling，and fall interventions. The research has formed eight clusters，including validity，elderly，fall detection，risk factors，fear of falling，fall risk，balance ability，and injuries. Keyword burst analysis indicated that future research would focus on technology-driven personalized prevention，interdisciplinary collaboration，and community involvement，promoting the comprehensive development of precise intervention strategies. Conclusion Research on fall prevention and control among the elderly has been expanding. In the future，it is necessary to further strengthen collaboration among research institutions，foster interdisciplinary communication，and advance personalized fall prevention strategies alongside intelligent technologies，in order to enhance the scientific and effective prevention and control of falls in the elderly.
