This study examines the impact of physical activity on UNHC needs and its subsequent effects on mental health outcomes and fall risk among community-dwelling older adults. Methods: Data were analyzed from 164,955 participants in the 2023 Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System dataset. Two models were fitted: A multinomial logistic regression model with past-month poor mental health days (PMHD) (a three-categorical variable-i.e., 0 days, 1-13 days, 14-30 days) and a binary logistic regression model with past-year fall (a dummy variable, i.e., a fall or not) . Both models adjusted for socio-demographics characteristics, physical activity, and UNHC. Results: Sixty percent of participants had no past-month PMHD, 26% reported 1-13 PMHD, and 14% reported 14-30 PMHD. Nearly 29% reported a fall -year fall.  \nParticipants with past-year fall were more likely to report 1-13 (RR = 1.96) and 14-30 (RR = 2.64) PMHD, respectively.  \nParticipants without physical activity limitations were less likely to report 1-13 (RR = 0.92) and 14-30 (RR = 0.49) PMHD, respectively. Individuals with UNHC were likely to report 1-13 (RR = 1.86) and 14-30 (RR = 3.33) PMHD, respectively.  \nParticipants with PMHD 1-13 (aOR=1.96) and 14-30 (aOR=2.64) were likely to report 1+ falls in the past-year fall, respectively. Those with UNHC were more likely to fall (aOR=1.63), while those who exercised were less likely to fall (aOR=0.69) . Conclusions: Findings highlight the importance of physical activity and healthcare utilization in the prevention and interventions for poor mental health status and falls.","cbCaiufNhDHkhNC3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiufNhDHkhNC3","pdf",47285,"English","# Background\n# Methods\n# Results\n# Conclusions","[{\"question\":\"What is the study examining about older adults?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines how physical activity affects unmet health care needs and how these factors relate to mental health outcomes and the risk of falls among community-dwelling older adults.\"},{\"question\":\"How were mental health and fall risk measured in the analysis?\",\"answer\":\"Poor mental health days (PMHD) in the past month were categorized into 0 days, 1–13 days, and 14–30 days, while past-year falls were coded as having a fall or not.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the results show about exercise and falls?\",\"answer\":\"Participants without physical activity limitations were less likely to report both lower and higher ranges of PMHD, and exercised individuals were less likely to fall.\"}]","MENTAL HEALTH AND FALL RATES AMONG OLDER ADULTS - Influence of Exercise and Unmet Health Care | PDF",1790641073]
