OBJECTIVE: To compare risks for falls and their consequences among four major race/ethnic groups in California. METHODS: Cases are 104,902 hospital discharges of California residents with a same level fall injury as the principal external cause of injury. Included are all discharges for a first ...
(16.2%).Age and history of falls were risk factors of fall.The score of fall efficacy was 6.11±2.66.The significant differences were observed among patients with different ages and different fall risks.The score of fall risk was negative correlated with that of fall efficacy(r=-0.377,P0.01)...
Epidemiology showed that the falling incidences increased with advanced age, and recent findings found link between nutritional intake and risk of falls. Nevertheless, the relationship between different plant-based diets and the risk of falls in older adults remains unclear. Our investigation aimed to...
Environmental hazard risks were the most frequent cause associated with falls in CDR 1 (41.4%) and CDR 2 (46.7%). Instability (31%) and dizziness (... EM Kato-Narita,M Radanovic - 《Dementia & Neuropsychologia》 被引量: 9发表: 2009年 Reduction of falls and fractures after permanent pace...
Research indicates that factors such as living alone, environmental risks, anxiety, depression, and decreased daily life capabilities are associated with this fear [16, 18]. Maintaining independence in daily activities is a crucial health indicator for older adults, offering valuable insights for ...
Age-related physical and physiological changes increase the incidence of falls. Aging decreases hepatic metabolism and renal drug elimination. These changes lead to higher drug exposure and an increased risk of falls among older adults. These risks should be considered carefully in clinical practice. ...
The prevalence of CaF was reported between 20 and 85% in older adults. About 10% of community-dwelling older adults experience excessive CaF [2]. CaF has been identified as an independent risk factor for reduced quality of life, increasing fall risks [3,4,5,6], and endangering the ...
An important cause of falls in the older adults is the presence of sarcopenia. Sarcopenia can be related to a food decline, a long hospital stay, and/or a long illness. Generally, older adults have a decrease in mass volume and coordination, with phenotypic changes, such as selective loss ...
