“…Using the fall experience in older adults as an opportunity to increase knowledge about osteoporosis, and particularly about the behaviors that can help decrease the risk and progression of osteoporosis and risk of falling should be considered. Conversely, as has been noted in prior research (Arnold, Busch, Schachter, Harrison, & Olszynski, 2005;Maggio et al, 2010), having a diagnosis of osteoporosis was associated with greater fear of falling. It is likely that those who knew they had osteoporosis feared a fracture with any fall, thus exacerbating their fear.…”

Purpose-The purpose of this study was to test a model delineating the factors known to influence fear of falling and exercise behavior among older adults.Design and Methods-This was a secondary data analysis using baseline data from the Bone Health study. A total of 866 individuals from two online communities participated in the study, 161 (18.6%) were from SeniorNet and 683 (78.9%) were from MyHealtheVet. More than half (63%) of the participants were male with a mean age of 62.8 (SD= 8.5). The majority was white (89%), married (53%) and had some college (87%).Results-Knowledge about osteoporosis and awareness one has a diagnosis of osteoporosis directly influenced fear of falling, and knowledge of osteoporosis directly and indirectly influenced exercise behavior. A diagnosis of osteoporosis indirectly influenced exercise behavior. Taken together, the hypothesized model explained 13% of the variance in exercise behavior.

“…From the clinical viewpoint, previous studies reported that physical inactivity can increase depressive symptoms and a significant association between physical inactivity and major non-communicable diseases, such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breast cancers and colon cancers, which can also shorten life expectancy (15,16). There were several risk factors for falls in older adults has been recognised (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25). However, no study has assessed the relationship between the storey on which elderly people live on and other fall-related variables such as fall risks and level of worry about falls.…”

Purpose: This study examined the association between storey of building and fall risk in older adults' residences and residents' level of fear of falling.Methods: The National Health and Ageing Trends Study (NHATS) collected information that would provide an understanding of basic trends people aged 65 years and older. Using a longitudinal survey, the present study employed the first round of NHATS data that was collected in 2011. In the first round, 12,411 participants were enrolled, and 8,077 interviews were completed. The study sample sizes for falling and worry about falling are 6,153 and 6,142, respectively.Results: Unadjusted analysis revealed that storey of building was a risk factor for fall and worry about falling. There was a higher prevalence for fall and worry about falling when subjects lived in single storey of building compared with the subjects live in multi-storey. Logistic regression analysis showed no highly significant between storey of building and the fall/fear of falling.Conclusion: Several clinical factors independently were indicated pertaining to the fall and worry about falling in older adult's residences.

A multi-dimensional questionnaire quantifying quality of life in elderly osteoporotic women: the Italian Triple-Q Osteoporosis Study

Abstract: The questionnaire intercepted the influence of osteoporosis on the quality of life of elderly women with vertebral fractures. Subjects who suffered from severe pain and were more fearful of falling were most likely to be severely osteoporotic.
