dc.description.abstractFear of Falling (FoF) is common in later life and may reduce mobility, lower physical activity (PA), and increase fall risk and the frequency of falls. Understanding correlates in community-dwelling older adults can guide screening and tailored interventions. To estimate fall risk and the prevalence of FoF, and to examine their associations with demographics, mobility and balance, physical activity, and fall history in community-dwelling older adults. Cross-sectional study. Participants: community-dwelling adults aged ≥65 years without cognitive impairment. Measures: FoF (FES-I), fall risk (Morse Fall Scale), mobility/balance (Timed Up and Go, TUG), physical activity (Brief Physical Activity Assessment, BPAA), demographics, and fall history. Statistics: Pearson’s correlation coefficient, chi-square, t-test, and ANOVA (α = 0.05).por
