Table 2. Relation between falling and concern about falling over long-term and short-term intervals.

All falls beta/OR [95% CI] p-value Injurious falls beta/OR [95% CI] p-value
Fall → ΔFES-I (beta)
Long-term (1 year) -0.01 [-0.88, 0.85]1,2,3 0.974 -0.15 [-1.06, 0.76]1,3 0.747
Short-term (1 month) 1.49 [0.74, 2.25] <0.001* 2.60 [1.55, 3.64] <0.001*
FES-I → Fall (OR)
 Long-term (1 year) 1.08 [0.97, 1.22] 0.173 1.07 [0.97, 1.20] 0.177
Short-term (1 month) 1.02 [0.95, 1.09] 0.501 1.07 [0.96, 1.17]1 0.171

This table shows the regression coefficients (Beta, or change in FES-I score) or Odds Ratio (OR) of the long term, determined with linear fixed effect regression models, and the short term, determined with linear mixed models, effects of the main independent variables (before the arrows) on the dependent variables (after the arrow). The table includes results from analyses with all falls and only Injurious falls.

* indicates statistical significance at alpha = 0.050; The effects are adjusted for age [1], gender [2] and walking duration per day [3] as described in the methods section.
