abstract: Mental health and healthy ageing; first 24-hour care service for older Aboriginal people Older people with more sound mental health are less likely to fall according to new research from The Australian National University (ANU). The team assessed 787 adults, with an average age of 78, three times over eight years on measures of wellbeing, including depressive symptoms, morale and sense of control over their lives. The study found that there was a rising fall rate over time among those who reported an increase in depressive symptoms or reduction in morale during the course of the study.
