Associations between multimorbidity and unintentional falls among older adults with coronary heart disease
In this study, we analysis multimorbidity clusters among older patients with CHD and their association with fall and falls with fracture risk. We found that CHD patients with a cerebrovascular-osteoarticular complex pattern face the highest unintentional falls and fractures risk. Our findings can help stratify the risk of falls in older CHD patients and support precision public health initiatives.
