Association Between Changes in the Level of Social Support and Falls Among Older Adults
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between self-reported falls and levels of social support among older adults, using data from two surveys conducted over a ten-year period. Their findings indicate that higher baseline social support is linked to a reduced likelihood of falls, and that increased social support over time further lowers the risk of fall-related outcomes. This underscores the importance of social support in mitigating fall risks as individuals age.
