Dynamic transitions in falls and physical activity among older adults in Malaysia: a longitudinal multi-state analysis
This study highlights the dynamic nature of falls and physical activity patterns among older adults, emphasizing the crucial role of modifiable factors including cognitive function, muscle mass, and physical fitness. Our findings suggest that comprehensive, targeted interventions addressing these key determinants could effectively improve mobility, reduce fall incidence, and enhance overall quality of life in ageing populations.
