Few studies of the association between prospective falls and sensor-based measures of motor performance and physical activity have evaluated subgroups of frailty status separately. To evaluate wearable sensor-based measures of gait, balance, and physical activity (PA) that are predictive of future falls in community-dwelling older adults. The Arizona Frailty Cohort Study in Tucson, Arizona followed community-dwelling adults aged 65 years and over (without baseline cognitive deficit, severe movement disorders, or recent stroke) for falls over six months. Baseline measures included Fried frailty criteria; in-home, and sensor-based gait (normal and fast walk), balance (bipedal eyes open and eyes closed), and spontaneous daily PA over 48 hours, measured using validated wearable technologies. Of the 119 participants (36% non-frail, 48% pre-frail, and 16% frail), 48 reported one or more fall (47% of non-frail, 33% of pre-frail, and 47% of frail). Although balance deficit and PA were independent fall predictors in pre-frail and frail groups, they were not sensitive to predict prospective falls in the non-frail group. Even though gait performance deteriorated as frailty increased, gait was not a predictor of prospective falls when participants were stratified based on frailty status. In pre-frail and frail participants combined, center of mass sway (OR= 5.9, 95% CI 2.6 – 13.7), PA mean walking bout duration (OR = 1.1, 95% CI 1.0 – 1.2), PA mean standing bout duration (OR = .94, 95% CI .91 - .99), and a fall in previous 6 months (OR = 7.3, 95% CI 1.5 – 36.4) were independent predictors for prospective falls (AUC: 0.882). This study suggests that independent predictors of falls are dependent on frailty status. Among sensor-derived parameters, balance deficit, longer typical walking episodes, and shorter typical standing episodes were the most sensitive predictors of prospective falls in the combined pre-frail and frail sample. Gait deficit was not a sensitive fall predictor in the context of frailty status.
