Article Synopsis
- Fear of falling (FOF) is a significant issue impacting autonomy in older adults, with existing interventions showing mixed results possibly due to various unidentified risk factors.
- A systematic literature review was conducted on FOF studies from 2006 to 2013, identifying key risk factors like female gender, physical function, and the use of walking aids, while also noting conflicting evidence regarding depression and medication use.
- The study emphasizes that only a few risk factors consistently relate to FOF and suggests the need for further investigation into newer factors to improve future research strategies.
