Abstract Background We determine the best combination of factors for predicting risk developing fear falling (FOF) in older people via Classification Regression Tree (CaRT) analysis. Methods Community-dwelling adults living Canada, Albania, Brazil, and Colombia were from International Mobility Aging Study (IMIAS). In 2014, 1,725 participants (aged 65–74) assessed. With a retention rate 81%, 2016, 1,409 individuals reassessed. Risk FOF entered into CaRT: age, sex, education, self-rated...

Abstract Background Despite consistently reporting poorer health, women universally outlive men. We examine whether gender differences in lived circumstances considered, and meaning attributed to SRH by men might explain this paradox. Methods In an online survey 917 adults rated their health (SRH) mental (SRMH) reflected upon what life experiences they considered making ratings. Descriptive findings were sex-disaggregated. The multiple listed then subject factor analyses using principal...
