incidence in an elderly population using person-years as well as hours walked as …

Background. This study explored the associations between various types of activities, their
underlying physical components, and recurrent falling in community-dwelling older persons …

Background Physical activity is linked to many positive health outcomes, stimulating the
development of exercise programs. However, many falls occur while walking and so …

in groups of older adults who were frequent fallers, intermittent fallers, or non-fallers …
