The data used were 67,834(29.9%) over the age of 65 of 228,381 people who participated in the community health survey conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2017. The chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis were conducted. As a result of the analysis, 8,374 (12.4%) experienced a fall last year more than once, and 3,736 (5.3%) more than twice among the total subjects. Variables related to one or more falls were gender, age, administrative district, marital status, subjective health level, walking, flexibility exercise, muscle strength exercise, diabetes, dyslipidemia, arthritis, cataract, sleep time, depression, suicidal ideation, happiness index, lifetime alcohol drinking and smoking status. Variables related to twice or more falls include age, marital status, subjective health level, walking, flexibility exercise, muscle strength training, dyslipidemia, arthritis, cataract, sleep time, stress, depression, suicidal ideation, happiness index, lifetime alcohol drinking and smoking status.
