【Abstract】Frail elderly patients in the community are at higher risk of falls due to physical impairments. Fall risk perception emphasizes exploring the understanding of fall risk from the patient′s perspective and is of positive significance for individuals to take proactive fall preventive behaviors to reduce the risk of falling. This article mainly reviews the current status, influencing factors, evaluation tools and intervention measures of fall risk perception in community-based frail elderly patients. It is expected to provide a reference for medical staff to conduct relevant research and tailor fall prevention and management plans.
