Despite public-health importance, few studies directly compare fall risk between older adults across countries. This study analyzes how socio-economic status and socio-demographic factors shape fall risk among adults aged 65+ in the U.S. and India using harmonized cross-sectional data from LASI 2017-18 and HRS 2016/2018. Logistic regression and country interaction tests identify significant predictors: U.S. older adults have nearly three times the odds of falling versus India (p\u003C0.001), with education and gender effects differing by country, including heightened rural risk in the U.S. Results inform country-specific fall-prevention strategies.",{"@graph":69,"@context":126},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/country-differences-in-fall-risk-among-older-adults-a-comparative-study-of-india-and-the-usa/427207/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/country-differences-in-fall-risk-among-older-adults-a-comparative-study-of-india-and-the-usa/427207.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Patrick","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-21","2026-09-29",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":39},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118,122],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the main purpose of the study?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"To compare fall risk among older adults aged 65+ in the U.S. and India and assess how socio-economic and socio-demographic factors influence that risk across countries.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"Which data sources were used for the analysis?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"The study used a harmonized cross-sectional dataset built from LASI 2017-18 and the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) covering 2016 and 2018.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What is the key result regarding fall risk between the two countries?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Older adults in the U.S. have almost three times the odds of experiencing a fall compared with older adults in India (p \u003C 0.001).",{"name":123,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":124},"How do education and gender relate to fall risk differently by country?",{"text":125,"@type":113},"More years of education are associated with higher fall risk in the U.S. but not in India, while females show elevated fall risk in India but not in the U.S. relative to males.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":128,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":130,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":132,"site_id":62},427207,1790740310,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":135},{"doc_id":132,"user_id":136,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":137,"doc_module":4,"category_id":39,"category_name":40,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":138,"file_id":139,"file_url":140,"file_type":141,"file_size":142,"view_count":39,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":8,"language":143,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":144,"faqs":145,"seo_title":146,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":147,"read_time":81},549758146520,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/80002397d8c0411e94?_k=1775819394049821470","628 Innovation in Aging, 2025, Vol. 9, No. S2  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.2149  \nCOUNTRY DIFFERENCES IN FALL RISK AMONG OLDER ADULTS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF INDIA AND THE USA  \nShekhar Chauhan, and Dawn Carr, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, United States  \nFalls represent a critical health concern for older adults, with risk factors varying across socio-demographic and lifestyle contexts. Despite significant implications for public health, few studies have compared fall risk between older adults in different countries. This study examines how socio-economic status and socio-demographic factors influence fall risk among older adults (age 65+) in the U.S and India. Using a harmonized cross-sectional dataset we created using data drawn from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI 2017-18) and the Health and Retirement Study (HRS, 2016 & 2018), we used logistic regression models to identify factors that predict fall risk, and interaction tests to evaluate if fall-related risk factors are moderated by country (i.e., USA vs. India) . Results show that older adults in the USA have almost three times the odds of experiencing a fall compared to their counterparts in India (p \u003C 0.001). Regarding moderators, we find that more years of education was associated with higher fall risk in the US (p \u003C0.001) (but not in India), and females have elevated risk of Falls in India (p \u003C 0.001), but not in the US relative to their male counterparts. Although rural-living older adults face elevated fall risk in both countries, rural-living older adults in the US adults face particularly high risk of falling. We conclude with a discussion about implications for country-specific fall prevention strategies.","cbCais8v0BhJyRbQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais8v0BhJyRbQ","pdf",579102,"English","# Study Overview\n## Data Sources and Methods\n## Main Findings and Moderators\n## Conclusions and Implications","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To compare fall risk among older adults aged 65+ in the U.S. and India and assess how socio-economic and socio-demographic factors influence that risk across countries.\"},{\"question\":\"Which data sources were used for the analysis?\",\"answer\":\"The study used a harmonized cross-sectional dataset built from LASI 2017-18 and the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) covering 2016 and 2018.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the key result regarding fall risk between the two countries?\",\"answer\":\"Older adults in the U.S. have almost three times the odds of experiencing a fall compared with older adults in India (p \\u003c 0.001).\"},{\"question\":\"How do education and gender relate to fall risk differently by country?\",\"answer\":\"More years of education are associated with higher fall risk in the U.S. but not in India, while females show elevated fall risk in India but not in the U.S. relative to males.\"}]","COUNTRY DIFFERENCES IN FALL RISK AMONG OLDER ADULTS - A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF INDIA AND THE USA | PDF",1790643222]
