Abstract(s)

A higher risk of falls in winter, when compared to summer, has been reported, although climatic factors as risk factors for falls have been little studied. Our aim is to identify the effects of climatic factors (CF) on the spatial-temporal distribution of hospitalization for fall-related injuries in older adults (2000-2010).
