The research subjects are 669 elderly people who are over 50 years of age from 29 communities’ life-saving and anti-fall classes in Taiwan. The short-form fall-risk screening tool in this study has 14 questions with score between 0 and 14; the higher score represents higher probability of falling. The research results show that the short-form fall-risk screening tool’s reliability test has good internal consistency. It is able to effectively predict the falling group and non-falling group. The score of 4 is the best cut-off point with sensitivity and specificity. With the application of repeat falling case, both sensitivity and specificity are over 70% for score between 4 and 6. If we use the score of 4 or 5 as cut-off point, the sensitivity is over 90%; however, the score of 5 has higher specificity with 84.68%. For the purpose of reducing assessment or inspection manpower, the cut-off point can be increased to score of 6, with sensitivity of 70% and high specificity of 88.5%. The tool used in this study is easy to operate and it can help the health and care professionals to identify the high fall-risk group in a timely manner so that it is also conductive to the promotion of public health.
