本研究旨在描述中国社区老年人的虚弱和跌倒恐惧，并探讨虚弱和跌倒恐惧之间的横向关联。我们从吉林省长春市五个区的五个选定社区招募了 165 名老年人。参与者被要求完成人口统计调查问卷、国际短期跌倒功效量表和蒂尔堡衰弱指数。我们发现 60% 的参与者身体虚弱，81% 的参与者表示害怕跌倒。使用二元逻辑回归，我们发现害怕跌倒的参与者身体虚弱的可能性是其他人的 7.2 倍。这些发现表明，应在临床实践中定期筛查对跌倒的恐惧，以帮助识别具有更大虚弱风险的老年人。未来需要更大样本量的纵向研究来证实这种关联。此外，应在社区老年人中测试包括减少跌倒恐惧策略在内的虚弱预防计划。
This study aimed to describe frailty and fear of falling and examine the cross-sectional association between frailty and fear of falling in community-dwelling older adults in China. We recruited 165 older adults from five selected communities in the five districts of Changchun, Jilin Province. Participants were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire, the Short Falls Efficacy Scale-International, and the Tilburg Frailty Indicator. We found that 60% of our participants were frail and that 81% reported a fear of falling. Using binary logistic regression, we found that the participants with fear of falling were 7.2 times more likely to be frail. These findings suggest that fear of falling should be regularly screened in clinical practice to help identify older adults with greater risks of frailty. Future longitudinal studies of larger sample size are needed to confirm the association. Moreover, frailty prevention programs that include strategies to reduce the fear of falling should be tested among community-dwelling older adults.
