| Abstract: | Introduction:
Injuries resulting from falls are a major problem facing older adults. Several studies showed that falls may occur due to limitations in functional fitness, poor body composition, or ognitive and emotional factors.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify preponderant physical fitness, body composition, cognitive and emotional risk factors for falls in community-dwelling older adults. |
