Incidence of falls by level of adherence to home exercise sessions*
| <1 session/week (n=53) | 1 to <2 sessions/week (n=35) | 2 to <3 sessions/week (n=70) | ≥3 sessions/week (n=37) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No of falls | 98 | 57 | 55 | 18 |
| Falls per person year | 2.16 | 1.69 | 0.80 | 0.49 |
| Incidence rate ratio (95% CI) | 1.00 | 0.79 (0.42 to 1.50) | 0.37 (0.23 to 0.60) | 0.23 (0.12 to 0.45) |
↵* Based on 156 (52x3) exercise sessions in 12 months pro rata. This relation held after adjustment for age, sex, previous fall, and total number of medications.
