Article Synopsis
- Fear of falling poses significant health risks and threatens the independence of older Palestinian adults in the Hebron district, prompting a study to identify related risk factors.
- The study involved 200 participants over 60 years old, examining various factors such as socio-demographics, medical history, lifestyle, cognitive and functional abilities, and depression through detailed questionnaires.
- Results showed that fear of falling was notably higher among those who were older, less educated, married, and living in rural areas, with functional status and physical fitness also playing key roles in increasing this fear.
