Fear of Falling, March 2022 ~
Fear of falling (FoF) can profoundly affect the quality of life (QoL) of older adults. Despite extensive literature on individual-level medical and psychological factors and behavioral interventions in mitigating FoF, very little attention has been devoted to a holistic inquiry, particularly on the under-researched socio-economic, demographic, and relational factors of FoF and its outcomes. This project aims to fill in these gaps in health research.
