The Maggie Beer Foundation is pleased to support the draft Australian Falls Guidelines on Preventing Falls and Harm from Falls in Older People. We think that the guidelines could and should go further and the reference to nutrition should be much more explicit if we are to prevent falls in all three settings. We need to do more to explain the importance of food as we age, particularly in the face of cost of living pressures which may cause our older households to put a low priority on fresh, good food. 👉 Read the full letter to learn more about our thoughts on these guidelines.
