We examined the associations between levels of accelerometer-based physical activity and
the mismatch of physiological fall risk and fear of falling (FOF) in community-dwelling older …

Abstract Objectives Fear of falling (FoF) is common in older adults. Physical activity
decreases as FoF increases. However, this association between physical activity and FoF …

Introduction: Fall Risk Appraisal (FRA), a process that integrates perceived and objective fall
risk measures, serves as a crucial component for understanding the incongruence between …

Background older persons can be grouped according to their objective risk of falling (ORF)
and perceived risk of falling (PRF) into 'vigorous'(low ORF/PRF),'anxious'(low ORF/high …

The current study aimed to categorize fall risk appraisal and quantify discrepancies between
perceived fall risk measured subjectively using the short Fall Efficacy Scale-International …

OBJECTIVES: To determine, in a cohort of older individuals transitioning to frailty (defined by
Speechley and Tinetti, 1991) who have previously fallen, whether there are significant …

Background and Purpose: Fear of falling is common in older adults and greatly increases
their risk for falls. Interventions aimed at reducing fall risk in older adults with a fear of falling …

Fear of falling (FOF), a common phenomenon among older adults, may result in adverse
health consequences. The strength of the association between FOF and physical function …

Objectives Assess the influence of physical function on balance and future falls in older
adults with fear of falling (FOF) and whether activity restriction modifies the contribution to …

Objectives To investigate the relationship between FOF and self-reported physical activity
levels among older adults. Design Observational cross-sectional. Setting and participants …
