Introduction: Executive function is responsive to exercise and predictive of subsequent falls.
Minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) are critical for understanding whether …

Background and Purpose: Fall-related injuries are a leading cause of institutionalization and
morbidity in older adults. Limitations in cognition, including deficits in higher cognitive …

Background Older people with impaired executive function (EF) might have an increased fall
risk, but prospective studies with prolonged follow-up are scarce. This study aimed to …

Background Recent findings suggest that executive function (EF) plays a critical role in the
regulation of gait in older adults, especially under complex and challenging conditions, and …

Objectives To examine whether good executive function (EF; the cognitive processes
important for goal‐oriented and controlled behavior) at baseline and maintenance of EF …

Falling is a serious hazard for older veterans that may lead to severe injury, loss of
independence, and death. While the American Geriatric Society (AGS) provides guidelines …

Objective: The authors examined the association among cognitive function, falling, and
physical performance among community-dwelling older adults (ages≥ 65 years). Methods …

Objectives To determine whether physical performance measures commonly used in clinical
settings can discriminate fallers from nonfallers and predict falls in older adults with …

Background Executive dysfunction has previously been found to be a risk factor for falls. The
aim of this study is to investigate the association between executive dysfunction and risk of …

Abstract Background/Objectives: Older adults with dementia have at least a twofold
increased risk of falls. Multi-factorial interventions have failed to demonstrate a reduction in …
