Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Apr 13, 2019

Quach LT, et al. - Using baseline data from an observational cohort study, researchers investigated the relationship between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and falls among primary care patients, and examined the modifying effect of social engagement (SE) on these connections. Participants in the study included 430 community-dwelling older adults (mean age, 76.6 years) at risk of mobility decline. According to findings, 42% of participants exhibited MCI and self-reported falls in the prior. In the previous year, MCI was related to an increased fall rate. MCI was linked to a higher fall rate among patients with lower levels of SE. Overall, the investigators suggested the importance of SE in fall treatment programs for MCI patients.
