Influence of psychosocial and health-seeking behaviour on the risk of falling among persons living with type 2 diabetes in the Malaysian Elders Longitudinal Research (MELoR) cohort
Our findings suggest that psychological issues are significantly associated with increased risk of falls at five-year follow-up in individuals aged 55 years and over with diabetes. These findings highlight the potential importance of psychosocial support among diabetics to reduce the risk of falls, improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
