Background: Home accidents are a significant public health issue in developed and developing countries. The present study aims to identify the factors associated with home accidents among older individuals in Türkiye.
Methods: Microdata obtained from the Türkiye Health Survey conducted by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) in 2019 and 2022 were utilized in the present study. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine factors influencing home accidents.
Home accidents are a significant public health issue in developed and developing countries. Home refers to where older individuals spend most of their daily time, thus increasing their likelihood of experiencing any accidents at home. Home accidents are more common among older individuals and can lead to serious health consequences. Individuals aged 65 and above are particularly at high risk of home accidents due to physical, psychological, and social impairments. Musculoskeletal problems and sensory and motor function loss in this group increase the risk of accidents. Home accidents are assumed to be unintentional and can range from minor injuries to fatalities. These accidents can occur within the home and in surrounding areas such as garages, gardens, terraces, and stairs. While unintentional home and recreational injuries pose a risk for individuals aged 85 and older, outdoor injuries also pose a risk for younger, older individuals.

| Factors contributing to home accidents among older individuals to ensure home safety | The research utilised microdata from the Türkiye Health Survey, published by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) in 2019 and 2022. The study's dependent variable is the occurrence of home accidents, measured by the question, "Have you experienced a home accident resulting in injury in the last 12 months? (Yes, No)." The independent variables of this study are gender, education level, marital status, employment status, general health status, presence of arthrosis, urinary incontinence, wearing glasses, experiencing difficulty in carrying or holding items, experiencing difficulty in affording health care services, and survey year. | 2019-2022 |
