This topic has been explored for over 30 years. Asa result, the aim of this umbrella review is to explore the state of the science on fear of falling to determine implications for future research. We searched databases including CINAHL, Medline (OVID), Scopus, and Cochrane for reviews (systematic, integrative, metanalyses, metasyntheses) since 1990. Studies with a focus on fear of falling in community-dwelling older adults asthe primary topic or outcome in English were included, resulting in 879 articles. After removing duplicates, 606 articles remained for title and abstract screening. Studies of specific conditions such as stroke or specific settings (e.g. nursing home) were excluded.  \nData was extracted to examine designs, samples, measures, and outcomes of reviews of descriptive and experimental studies for the final 47 articles. Overall, 30 years of evidence confirms that that fear of falling is a significant public health problem for older people, common even among those who have not had a fall. Fear of falling leads to negative outcomes including reduced activity, depression and increased risk of nursing home placement, and is a risk factor for future falls. Further evidence supports exercise and multifactorial interventions to reduce fear of falling and improve quality of life for older people. Future research could help target interventions to improve precision of outcomes.","cbCaimm67vECgfmR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimm67vECgfmR","pdf",696973,"English","# Review Purpose\n## Search Strategy and Inclusion Criteria\n## Study Screening and Final Set\n## Extracted Data: Designs, Measures, Outcomes\n## Key Findings and Implications","[{\"question\":\"What was the aim of the umbrella review on fear of falling?\",\"answer\":\"To explore the state of the science on fear of falling and determine implications for future research.\"},{\"question\":\"Which sources and time range were used to find relevant reviews and studies?\",\"answer\":\"The review searched CINAHL, Medline (OVID), Scopus, and Cochrane for reviews from 1990 onward.\"},{\"question\":\"What overall outcomes are associated with fear of falling in older people?\",\"answer\":\"Fear of falling is linked to reduced activity and quality of life, depression, and increased risk of nursing home placement, and it is a risk factor for future falls.\"}]","FEAR OF FALLING - 30 Years of Research | PDF",1790645152]
