By Akihiko Murayama, Ken Hirukawa and Tomoyuki Shinohara.
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Pre-frailty may represent an important stage for fall prevention before the development of frailty; however, its association with falls, particularly in comparison with robust status, remains insufficiently understood. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to examine the association between pre-frailty and falls among community-dwelling older adults by comparing pre-frail and robust older adults.
