Falls among older adults will cause a heavy burden on society and families. The development of effective falls prevention intervention policies for community-dwelling older adults is an important initiative to address this global public health problem.

To analyze and compare the content composition, key initiatives and implementation strategies of current falls prevention intervention policies for community-dwelling older adults in different countries from the perspective of policy tools.

Six countries in Asia, North America, and Europe, including Japan, Singapore, Thailand, the United States, Germany, and Russia, were selected as sample countries according to the degree of population aging and economic income level. Refer to the websites of relevant government departments such as the Ministry of Health, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and directly affiliated institutions, as well as websites of nongovernmental organizations, such as Prevention of Falls Network Europe, National Council On Aging, U.S., Association of Fall Prevention, Japan, and National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds, Germany, the national policy documents of prevention interventions for community-dwelling older adults from January 2010 to June 2022 were searched by using "older adults" "fall/drop/accidental injuries" "prevention" as keywords. The text analysis was performed from the dimensions of policy tools such as demand-side type, supply-side type and environmental-side type, and injury prevention strategies such as education prevention strategies and evaluation strategies.

Among the 24 policy documents, there were 212 coded targets in the dimension of policy tools, with environmental-side type, supply-side type and demand-side type policy tools accounting for 45.3% (96/212), 40.6% (86/212) and 14.1% (30/212), respectively. Among high-income countries, the public service tools under supply-side type policy tools were mostly applied in the United States and Germany, accounting for 40.5% (17/42) and 13.8% (8/58) ; the infrastructure construction tools under supply-side type policy tools were focused in Singapore〔24.1% (7/29) 〕. Among low and middle income countries, the environmental-side type policy tools were mostly applied in Russia and Thailand, accounting for 51.3% (20/39) and 55.6% (10/18), respectively. Public service was mostly applied among the supply-side type policy tools, accounting for 17.5% (37/212) ; technical standard was mostly applied among the environmental-side type policy tools, accounting for 10.8% (23/212) ; medicare payment was mostly applied among the demand-side type policy tools, accounting for 4.7% (10/212). In addition, there were 105 coded targets in the dimension of injury prevention strategies, with the education prevention strategies accounting for the highest proportion of 31.4% (33/105), the engineering strategy accounting for the lowest proportion of 5.7% (6/105). High-income countries are at the stage of multi-sectoral collaborative policy implementation, low and middle income countries are at the stage of policy implementation by the Ministry of Health stage.

Six countries focus on public service and infrastructure development under supply-side type policy tools; the application of demand-side type policy tools can be summarized as intervention services managed by medical insurance, intervention projects supported by financial funds, service purchases attracted by price subsidies, planning, organization, advocacy, and standard setting of environmental-side type policy tools. In combination with the priorities and specific measures of the six countries, it is suggested to learn from advanced experience in improving public services, strengthening evidence-based projects, standardizing technical standards, supporting financial incentives, expanding medical insurance programs, and providing price subsidies, thus further optimizing falls prevention intervention policies for community-dwelling older adults.

老年人跌倒会给社会、家庭造成沉重负担，制定有效的社区老年人跌倒干预政策是解决这一全球公共卫生问题的重要举措。

从政策工具视角分析、比较不同国家现行社区老年人跌倒干预政策的内容构成、重点举措和实施策略。

根据人口老龄化程度和经济收入水平，选取亚洲、北美洲、欧洲的6个国家（日本、新加坡、泰国、美国、德国、俄罗斯）为样本国家，查阅其国家卫生部、疾病预防控制中心等相关政府部门及其直属机构，以及欧洲跌倒预防网络、美国老龄问题委员会、日本跌倒预防协会、德国健康保险协会等非政府机构官网，以"老年人，跌倒/坠落/意外伤害，预防"为关键词，检索2010年1月—2022年6月发布的全国性社区老年人跌倒干预政策文本，从需求型、供给型、环境型等政策工具维度和教育预防策略、评估策略等伤害预防策略维度进行文本分析。

24份政策文本中，政策工具维度共212个编码参考点，环境型、供给型、需求型政策工具应用占比分别为45.3%（96/212）、40.6%（86/212）和14.1%（30/212）。在高收入国家中，美国和德国应用供给型政策工具下的公共服务工具较多，占比分别为40.5%（17/42）和13.8%（8/58）；新加坡重点应用供给型政策工具下的基础设施建设工具〔24.1%（7/29）〕。在非高收入国家中，俄罗斯、泰国应用环境型政策工具最多，应用比例分别为51.3%（20/39）和55.6%（10/18）。供给型政策工具中公共服务被使用最多，占17.5%（37/212）；环境型政策工具中，技术标准使用最多，占10.8%（23/212）；需求型政策工具中，医保支付被使用最多，占4.7%（10/212）。此外，伤害预防策略维度共105个参考点，教育预防策略占比最高，为31.4%（33/105），工程策略占比最低，为5.7%（6/105）。高收入国家进入多部门协作政策执行阶段，非中高收入国家处于卫生部政策制定阶段。

六国侧重应用供给型政策工具下的公共服务和基础设施建设；需求型工具的应用重点可以概述为医保经办干预服务、财政基金筹建干预项目、价格补贴吸引服务购买；环境型工具重规划、组织、宣传及标准制定。结合六国开展干预工作的优先事项和具体措施，可充分借鉴完善公共服务、加强循证、规范技术标准、财政激励、医保经办、价格补贴等方面的先进经验，进一步优化我国社区老年人跌倒干预政策。
