Summary of findings: walking programme (general physical activity) vs control (e.g. usual activities)

Number of people who experienced one or more falls · Older people living in the community (trials focusing on people recently discharged from hospital were not included)

It is very uncertain whether summary of findings: walking programme (general physical activity) changes number of people who experienced one or more falls compared with control (e.g. usual activities) (very low certainty).
