To determine the impact of falls and fractures on life-space mobility in a cohort of community-dwelling older adults. Prospective, observational study with a baseline in-home assessment and 6-month telephone follow-up interviews over 4 years. Central Alabama, U.S.A. Nine hundred seventy community-dwelling adults age ≥ 65 years, recruited from a random sample of Medicare beneficiaries were stratified by sex, race, and urban/rural residence. Sociodemographic factors, medical history, depressive symptoms (using the Geriatric Depression Scale), cognitive function (using the Mini-Mental State Examination), mobility-related symptoms, transportation difficulty, and healthcare utilization were assessed during a baseline in-home interview of participants. Life-space mobility, as well as any falls or injuries (including fractures) were assessed both at the baseline interview and at six-month intervals by follow-up telephone calls. Four hundred and fifty-four (47%) participants reported at least one fall during the 4-year follow-up. The life-space score decreased 3.2 points from the beginning to the end of the six-month interval during which a fall occurred, adjusting for other known predictors of decline in life-space mobility. The decrease in interval life-space score was progressively greater for a fall and an injury (−4.7 points), a fall and a fracture (−14.2 points), and was highest for a fall and a hip fracture (−23.6 points). Falls, whether associated with an injury or not, were independently associated with a decrease in life-space mobility in the ensuing six months. Further studies are needed to determine reasons for life-space mobility decline among community-dwelling older adults with incident falls without any injuries.
