Resumo(s)
The aim of this study was to develop a confirmatory model,
using structural equation modeling, to describe and explain
the fear of falling in elderly women. Forty-one participants
(67.69 ± 5.30 years) were selected to test a theoretical model.
The final model revealed that the fear of falling is related to
impaired balance (dynamic and static). Strength has a positive
effect on both dynamic and static balance. Strength depends
on bone mineral density. In conclusion, more strength and
bone mineral density and better body balance tend to
decrease the fear of falling.
