25% of elderly adults fall every year. As most of disease entities seen in Geriatrics, falls are often multifactorial. A systematic approach is therefore key to identify causes and address them. This review summarizes the main causes of falls in the geriatric population, an approach for work-up, and key aspects for its management and prevention.
