Fear of falling and restriction of mobility in elderly fallers
TL;DR: It is indicated that about one-third of elderly people develop a fear of falling after an incident fall and this issue should be specifically addressed in any rehabilitation programme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bruno Vellas,Sharon J. Wayne,Linda J. Romero,Richard N. Baumgartner,Laurence Z. Rubenstein,Philip J. Garry +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that one‐leg balance is a significant predictor of falls and injurious falls and the number of falls is related to the severity of the injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sarcopenic obesity predicts instrumental activities of daily living disability in the elderly.
Richard N. Baumgartner,Sharon J. Wayne,Debra L. Waters,Ian Janssen,Dympna Gallagher,John E. Morley +5 more
TL;DR: This is the first study, to the authors' knowledge, to indicate that sarcopenic obesity is independently associated with and precedes the onset of IADL disability in the community-dwelling elderly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritional status and cognitive functioning in a normally aging sample: a 6-y reassessment.
A. La Rue,Kathleen M. Koehler,Sharon J. Wayne,Stephen J. Chiulli,Kathleen Y. Haaland,P J Garry +5 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Cell-mediated immunity as a predictor of morbidity and mortality in subjects over 60.
TL;DR: The results show that anergy may be a good indicator of subsequent all-cause mortality, and perhaps cancer mortality, in elderly who lack other indicators of poor health.
