“…Some variables such as physical activity level and mobility were not related to falls despite significant relationship with FOF, which might be caused by insufficient statistical power as stated above. Considering mean difference between groups with and without fall history, statistical significant relationship would be drawn with more sample as previously reported studies (Hedman et al., ; Sungkarat et al., ). Thus, nursing interventions can reduce falls as well as a FOF.…”

“…Extrinsic factors, which are environmental factors, include poor foot wear, slippery floors, poor lighting (Ambrose et al., ). Among these factors, some were modifiable factors of falls such as physical function and environmental factors (Keall et al., ; Sungkarat, Boripuntakul, Chattipakorn, Watcharasaksilp, & Lord, ), while others were nonmodifiable factors such as age and sex. Medication use, as well as the above‐stated factors, has been reported as a fall‐related risk factor, which is a modifiable factor.…”

Thirty studies (93.75%) had a low risk of attrition bias because most studies reported the dropout rate or represented detailed explanations. Overall, 21 studies (65.6%) 16–22,24,25,27–29,33–35,37–40 were recognized as having a low risk of methodological quality, and the remaining studies were deemed to have a low methodological quality.…”

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Mind‐body exercise has positive effects on cognitive performance, according to clinical observation and experts’ recommendations. However, its potential benefits for the cognitive function of aging adults are uncertain and still lack systematic estimations. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis to evaluate the overall efficacy and effectiveness of mind‐body exercises for cognitive performance in aging individuals with or without cognitive impairment. DESIGN A systematic review and meta‐analysis. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS We searched related trials through June 2018 from four databases: Medline, Embase, PsycINFO (all via Ovid), and the Cochrane Library/Central Register of Controlled Trials. MEASUREMENTS Methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. A meta‐analysis of comparative effects was performed using Review Manager v.5.3 software, and publication bias was examined using Egger's test. RESULTS A total of 32 randomized controlled trials with 3624 participants were ultimately included in this meta‐analysis. The results revealed that mind‐body exercises as a whole had benefits in improving global cognition compared with that of the control group (mean difference [MD] = 0.92; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.33‐1.51; p = .002) and were more effective than control interventions in promoting cognitive flexibility (MD = −8.80; 95% CI = −15.22 to −2.38; p = .007), working memory (MD = 0.32; 95% CI = 0.01‐0.64; p = .05), verbal fluency (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.27; 95% CI = 0.09‐0.45; p = .003), and learning (SMD = 0.24; 95% CI = 0.10‐0.39; p = .001) on cognitively intact or impaired older adults. In dose‐subgroup analysis, only moderate exercise intensity (60‐120 min per week) significantly increased global cognition scores compared with those of the control group (MD = 1.15; 95% CI = 0.34‐1.97; p = .006). CONCLUSION Mind‐body exercises, especially tai chi and dance mind‐body exercise, are beneficial for improving global cognition, cognitive flexibility, working memory, verbal fluency, and learning in cognitively intact or impaired older adults. Moderate intensity is recommended as the optimal dose for older adults. J Am Geriatr Soc 67:749–758, 2019.

“…Tai Chi, yoga and strength training are helpful in reducing the levels of FOF and thus minimizes the chances of falling [21][22][23][24][25], but others also have no significant relationship [26,27]. Though it is proposed that sports can imply significant beneficial effects in the elderly population, there is still no agreement on the individualistic impacts of different sports exercises on specific traits of physical abilities of the elderly.…”

Objectives:The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Pilates exercise on Fear of Falling (FOF) among elderly women. Methods:The present study is a clinical trial that was conducted on 44 elderly women aged between 60-80 years. Subjects were recruited through the convenience sampling method and were then randomly divided into two groups of inference viz. pilates exercise group, the members of which underwent Pilates exercise training along with the routine sanatorium exercises and the control group in which members stuck with (routine exercise only. Data was gathered by using demographic questionnaire and Fall Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). For the intervention group, Pilates training was done for 8 weeks, three times a week (1 hour per session) under the supervision of a trained coach. Data were analyzed by the SPSS software v.16. Results:The findings indicated that the means of FES-I scores in Pilates group improved from 32.90 to 22.18 (MD=10.72) after the intervention. According to the independent t-test, there was a significant difference in the means of post intervention FES-I scores, between the two groups (P<0.001). In the Pilates group, the effect size of intervention was much more than the control group (ES=0.89). Discussion:Pilates training could decrease the FOF and may thus be implemented as an effective interventional method for fall prevention in elderly women.
