Associations of frailty, self-reported balance problems, hearing abilities, and posturography in a sample of older adults
For a holistic approach to healthcare and regardless of age, individuals with multiple comorbidities and/or phenotypic signs of frailty should be considered at risk for falls. For further research, it was shown that dynamic, rather than static, balance tasks may be needed to gain deeper insights into the relationship between hearing and balance.
