History of fall was the objective variable (Yes = 1, No = 0), variables in Table 3 which the result of Mann-Whitney’s U-test or χ2 test were p < 0.1 were explanatory variables (For occlusal support, Group A was a reference variables), and sex and age were control variables. *: Statistically significant explanatory variables.
