Physical performance and quality of life in single and recurrent fallers: Data from the Improving Medication Prescribing to Reduce Risk of Falls study

摘要

Aim: Although guidelines regarding falls prevention make a clear distinction between single and recurrent fallers, differences in functional status, physical performance, and quality of life in single and recurrent fallers have not been thoroughly investigated. Therefore, we investigated the differences in functional status, physical performance and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) between single and recurrent fallers.
