Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2011;92:1395-403.Objectives: To identify factors that are associated with older patients' engagement in exercise in the 6 months after hospital discharge.Design: A prospective observational study using qualitative and quantitative evaluation.Setting: Follow-up of hospital patients in their home setting after discharge from a metropolitan general hospital.Participants: Participants (N=343) were older patients (mean age +/- SD, 79.4+/-8.5y) discharged from medical, surgical, and rehabilitation wards and followed up for 6 months after discharge.Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures: Self-perceived awareness and risk of falls measured at discharge with a survey that addressed elements of the Health Belief Model. Engagement and self-reported barriers to engagement in exercise measured at 6 months after discharge using a telephone survey.Results: Six months after discharge, 305 participants remained in the study, of whom 109 (35.7%) were engaging in a structured exercise program. Multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated participants were more likely to be engaging in exercise if they perceived they were at risk of serious injury from a fall (odds ratio [OR] = .61; 95% confidence interval [CI], .48.78; P
