| Popis: | ABSTRACT This study investigated the association of biological (muscle strength and functioning) and behavioral factors (level of physical activity and fear of falling) with the history of falls in community-dwelling older adults. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 173 older adults. Handgrip strength and functioning were assessed using the timed up and go (TUG) and gait speed tests. Behavioral factors were assessed by physical activity (Minnesota Leisure Time Activities Questionnaire) and fear of falling (Falls Efficacy Scale-International) instruments. The history of falls was assessed by self-reporting of falls that occurred in the last six months. Data were analyzed by the biserial point correlation test (r b ) and by a binomial regression analysis. The biological, handgrip strength (r b =−0.282, p |
