Abstract

The article discusses a study which investigated the prevalence and determinants of irrational fear of falling among elderly people as well as the manner in which they affect future falls.

The subjects were also participating in the Sydney Memory and Ageing Study. An association between psychological measures and disparities between perceived and physiological fall risk was found by the researchers.
