A linear mixed effects model included fixed effects of intervention, original FRA group, age, and race, with random effects of participant and timepoint. The intervention shows a slight but significant reduction in FRA distance (β=-2.59, p = 0.047), indicating improved outcomes. Compared to the rational group, all other original FRA groups—except irrational—had significantly worse FRA scores (p \u003C 0.001), and advanced age was associated with worse FRA distance (p \u003C0.001). These results demonstrate the potential of the PEER intervention for shifting FRA, but the limited size of the effect suggests that greater exercise intensity may further improve FRA outcomes.  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.3807  \nLOW-INTENSITY PEER-LED EXERCISE IMPROVES  \nFALL RISK APPRAISAL IN OLDER WOMEN  \nChitra Banarjee1, Kworweinski Lafontant1, Jethro Raphael Suarez2, Rui Xie1, and Ladda Thiamwong1, 1.

Older adults have been classified into four groups of FRA by integrating fear of falling (FoF) and balance, as measured by the Short Falls Efficacy Scale-International, and BTrackS Balance Test (BBT); a) rational (low FoF and normal balance), b) incongruent (low FoF despite poor balance), c) irrational (high FoF despite normal balance), and d) congruent (high FoF and poor balance) .
