The introduction of a paper is important in the it gives relevant information for the reader to know what the body will entail but at the same time the information is not overwhelming.   The article I choose looked at falls in adults; the introduction gave information that looked at adults, specifically those with intellectual disability, the problem of falls, the reason and risk factors and interventions and outcomes.  Falls happen often in older adults and those susceptible falls may suffer injures which limits physical function, contributes to decline in health and even death.  Adults with intellectually disability will suffer falls as much as older adults.  Risk factors associated with falls in older adults are aging, gait and balance problems, visuals impairment, medication and other illnesses, in order to effectively address this issue of falls it is importance to first identify the risk factors and take steps to effectively address them.
