Table 2.
The associations between physical activity and time to first fall and time to recurrent falling
| Model | HR | 95%CI | p value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to first fall | |||
| Physical activity | 0.98 | 0.96–1.01 | 0.13 |
| Physical activity + confounders | 0.98 | 0.96–1.00 | 0.11 |
| Time to recurrent falling | |||
| Physical activity | 0.93 | 0.90–0.97 | <0.001 |
| Physical activity + confounders | 0.96 | 0.92–0.99 | 0.02 |
Hazard Ratios (HR) and 95% Confidence Interval (95%CI) are presented per 100 units (i.e., minutes per day × MET score) increase in physical activity. Confounders were age, sex, body mass index, chronic diseases, psychotropic medication, mini-mental state examination, depressive symptoms, and fear of falling
