Daily sitting time and past-year falls in Japanese adults: an exploratory cross-sectional analysis
Daily sitting time of about 4 h or more was linked to increased odds of past-year falls, but its discriminatory ability was minimal (AUC ≈ 0.5). Adding measures such as muscle strength and balance may improve prediction, and this cutoff could serve as a population-level marker when combined with other risk indicators.
