Visual problems and falls
Abstract
Visual impairment is a risk factor for falls, on average approximately doubling falls risk in a wide variety of studies. Falls risk increases as visual impairment worsens. The relationship is almost certainly causal. Vision accounts for perhaps a quarter to a half of all falls, although this estimate is imprecise. Visual impairment in 70% or more of elderly people is remediable with relatively simple interventions (correcting refractive errors and cataract surgery), making it an important potential target for intervention at the population level. However, no intervention has yet been proven to reduce falls risk in a randomized controlled trial.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
