Table 1.

Means and Standard Deviations (SDs) of Auditory and Postural Balance Characteristics, and Numbers and Percentages of Participants Who Had at Least One Fall, at Least Two Falls, or at Least One Injurious Fall

Characteristic	Mean	SD
BEHL0.5–4 kHz (dB) (n = 429)	21	12
COP movement in semitandem stance (n = 420)
Mediolateral velocity (mm/s)	15	4
Anteroposterior velocity (mm/s)	12	4
Velocity moment (mm2/s)	48	29
Fall occurrence (n = 423)	n	%
At least one fall	199	47
At least two falls	92	22
At least one injurious fall	121	29

Note: COP = center of pressure; BEHL_{0.5–4 kHz} = better ear hearing threshold level at frequencies of 0.5–4 kHz.
