Overview

Cross-sectional analysis links physical activity, psychological factors, and LDL cholesterol to higher fall risks in older adults.

Key Points

  • This research aims to identify physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors associated with falls in older adults.
  • Cross-sectional analysis using 2022 KNHANES data
  • Participants aged ≥65 years
  • Multivariable logistic regression and ROC analyses conducted
  • Association between fall incidence and various predictors
  • Evaluation of model fit and discrimination
  • Lower weekly working hours linked to higher fall odds (OR = 3.11)
  • Insufficient physical activity strongly associated with falls (OR = 2.49)
  • Reduced grip strength correlated with increased fall risk (OR = 2.23)
  • Low diastolic blood pressure associated with fall risk (OR = 2.06)
  • Elevated LDL cholesterol increases fall odds (OR = 3.06)
