Article Synopsis
- - The study explored fear of falling (FOF) in older patients post-fall, focusing on factors linked to FOF and its impact on long-term health outcomes, using a sample of 1464 patients aged 65 and older from various emergency departments.
- - Key factors associated with FOF included age, gender, living situation, and past fall experiences; inversely, those using walking aids or in residential care had lower FOF.
- - Although FOF was common among participants, it wasn't significantly connected to long-term outcomes like death or hospitalization, indicating a need for further research on how FOF affects older adults' quality of life and functional capacity.
