The researchers investigated which determinants such as health, dementia, gait, and age would be among factors associated with nursing home residents have a higher number of falls. Researchers, Kröpelin, Nevens, Halfens, Kempen, and Hamers (2012), analyzed eight articles explored why nursing home residents have a higher prevalence of falls. The researchers studied these articles to determine that researchers decided that psychotropic drugs, dementia, age, coordination, and other factors contributed to the increase risk of falls. The researchers determined that more studies need to be conducted to provide more information to conclude which category experienced more falls such as individuals with dementia, age groups, or residents who took more medications compared to
