Overview

Cross-sectional analysis identifies lifestyle, psychological, and physical factors linked to falls in older adults, suggesting targeted interventions may reduce fall risk.

Key Points

To identify and analyze factors associated with falls in older adults using KNHANES data.
Cross-sectional analysis using 2022 KNHANES data
Population: adults aged ≥65 years (n = 612)
Outcome measured: falls in the past year
Statistical analyses: multivariable logistic regression and ROC analyses
Higher fall odds associated with low working hours (<12 hours/week)
Insufficient physical activity (<150 min/week) linked to increased fall risk
Low grip strength, low diastolic blood pressure, and high LDL cholesterol significantly associated with falls
Modest discrimination observed across individual factors (AUCs 0.55–0.65)
