A Community-Based Collaborative Care Model to Improve Functional Health in Underserved Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Program findings may serve as a basis for the development of a randomized, controlled study to provide empirical evidence of intervention efficacy. Such findings may help inform the development of community-based programs to identify vulnerable older adults and provide vital preventative care to decrease frailty and excess disability
Visual Acuity, Visual Disabilities and Falling in the Elderly
Poor vision has been suggested as a risk factor for falling in the elderly. We analyzed the findings from a cohort of community-dwelling elderly (N = 875) to determine the relative risks for impaired visual acuity and various visual disabilities with falling, recurrent falling, and serious injurious falls. The prevalences of impaired visual acuity and four visual disabilities were low. None of the vision variables examined predicted time to first…
The prevalence and correlates of fear of falling in elderly persons living in the community
OBJECTIVES. Fear of falling has been recognized as a potentially debilitating consequence of falling in elderly persons. However, the prevalence and the correlates of this fear are unknown. METHODS. Prevalence of fear of falling was calculated from the 1-year follow-up of an age- and gender-stratified random sample of community-dwelling elderly persons. Cross-sectional associations of fear of falling with quality of life, frailty, and falling wer…
