Falls　pose　a　significant　risk　factor　leading　to　fatalities　among　the　elderly,　with　bathrooms　often　being　the　scene　of　such　incidents.　This　is　partly　attributable　to　visual　and　cognitive　impairments　in　the　elderly,　which　can　lead　to　visual　misperceptions　of　bathroom　spaces.　Through　eye-tracking　experiments　conducted　on　the　elderly,　this　study　concludes　that　the　size,　color,　and　tiling　method　of　floor　tiles　do　not　influence　the　visual　attention　of　the　elderly.　However,　the　use　of　conspicuous　colors　to　highlight　elevation　level　change　can　significantly　enhance　the　visual　attention　of　the　elderly,　thereby　facilitating　the　identification　and　judgment　of　hazards.　©　The　Institution　of　Engineering　&　Technology　2025.
