Association between arteriosclerosis, hemodynamic indices, and the risk of falls: receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for different indices in older individuals

Our findings indicate that age, weight, educational background, smoking status, alcohol consumption, cognitive impairment, malnutrition, ABI, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac stroke volume are associated with an increased risk of falls in older adults. Moreover, arteriosclerosis and hemodynamic parameters may aid in the early identification of fall risk among older individuals.
