Cross-Lagged Panel Analysis between Physical Frailty, Cognitive Function, and Falls by Sex
This study investigated the reciprocal longitudinal relationships between physical frailty (PF), cognitive function (CF), and falls among community-dwelling older adults, according to sex. The study proposed hypotheses that present PF and CF will affect the occurrence of falls 2 years later.

Validation of the ADICE_IT Models for Predicting Falls and Recurrent Falls in Geriatric OutpatientsFValidation of the ADICE_IT Models for Predicting Falls and Recurrent Falls in Geriatric Outpatients
Before being used in clinical practice, a prediction model should be tested in patients whose data were not used in model development. Previously, we developed the ADICE_IT models for predicting any fall and recurrent falls, referred as Any_fall and Recur_fall. In this study, we externally validated the mo...

Fall prevention is important in many hospitals. Current fall-risk-screening tools have limited predictive accuracy specifically for older inpatients. Their administration can be time-consuming. A reliable and easy-to-administer tool is desirable to identify older inpatients at higher fall risk. We aimed to...
