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
