The systematic review consists of 10 identified scientific articles, of which 40% (4/10) are meta-analyses, 20% (2/10) are systematic reviews, and 40% (4/10) are randomized controlled trials. Regarding the origin of the articles, 20% (2/10) are from Australia, and 80% (8/10) are from France, South Korea, the United States, Malaysia, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, and Spain, respectively. Results: 100% (10/10) indicate that exercise programs are effective in preventing falls in elderly individuals living in the community. Conclusions: It was found that 10 out of 10 (10/10) of the studies concluded that an exercise program is effective in preventing falls in older adults living in the community.
