Association and predictive value analysis for mobility assessments and concerns about falling on falls in community-dwelling older adults: a prospective cohort study in China
The TUG test is an useful tool for evaluating fall risk in community-dwelling older adults. The FES-I has potential to identify older adults at an elevated risk of fall with a cut-off value of 45. However, their ability to predict falls is limited. Incorporating additional fall-related factors improves the predictive performance but is still inadequate.
