https://www.selleckchem.com/Proteasome.html The FES-I is widely used to measure the fear of falling. However, studies linking the Chinese version of the FES-I to frailty and quality of life among older adults are still limited. Thus, this study examined the association of the full 16-item FES-I and the 7-item short FES-I with fall history, physical frailty, and quality of life among older Taiwanese adults. A total of 751 community-dwelling older adults in Taipei City participated in this study. Data analyses included logistic and linear regression models. The 16-item and the short FES-I were strongly correlated (Spearman rho = 0.963), and both scales are reliable. The 7-item FES-I was positively associated with fall history and physical frailty and negatively associated with the physical (b = -0.65, p less then 0.001) and mental (b = -0.59, p less then 0.001) components of health-related quality of life, independent of physical frailty. Thus, the short FES-I can be used to increase the feasibility of health screenings of older adults in Chinese-speaking contexts.This study aimed to examine the relationship between fear of falling in elderly patients who underwent spinal surgery and pain, kinesiophobia, anxiety, depression, and associated factors. The study was a descriptive, cross-sectional design. The research sample consisted of 211 elderly patients who had undergone spinal surgery. The average age of the patients was 66.68 ± 5.57. Of the sample, 83.4% were afraid of falling, and 21.3% were severely afraid of falling. In the study, age (β = 0.115, p = 0.005), being a woman (β = -0.182, p less then 0.001), pain (β = 0.269, p less then 0.001), risk of falling (β = 0.084, p = 0.49), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety (HADS-A) (β = 0.135, p = 0.044), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Anxiety-Depression (HADS-D) (β = 0.382, p less then 0.001), and kinesiophobia (β = 0.722, p less then 0.001) were statistically significant predictors of fear of falling.
