Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Longitudinal Effects of Fear of Falling on Falls.

Authors

Abstract

Recent evidence suggests that the effects of fear of falling on falls may differ by race/ethnicity. This study investigated whether race/ethnicity (white, black, and Hispanic) moderated the longitudinal effects of fear of falling on the incidence of falling and having a repeated fall among community-dwelling older adults.
