The purpose of this study is to determine predictors of fear of falling among older Mexican Americans over time. Longitudinal study. Community-dwelling residents throughout California, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. One thousand six hundred and eighty-two community-dwelling Mexican Americans aged 72 and over participating in the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly (H-EPESE, 2000/01 – 2010/11). Fear of falling was measured at baseline and at each subsequent wave interval. Baseline demographic and clinical variables included social support, fall history, depression symptoms, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) limitations, and chronic health conditions. Fear of falling was present in 953 subjects (56.7%) at baseline with 262 of them reporting severe fear of falling. The predictors of reporting any fear of falling over time included female gender, frequent familial interaction, depression, chronic health conditions, IADL limitations, higher MMSE score, and 3 or more falls in the last 12 months. Predictors of severe fear of falling included older age, female gender, married, depressive symptoms, chronic health conditions, IADL limitations, higher MMSE score, and fall history. Protective factors included frequent friend interaction and higher levels of education. Fear of falling is prevalent among older Mexican American adults. The presence of friends nearby was shown to be protective, while the presence of family nearby was shown to be predictive of fear of falling.
