Risk factors for falls in older people with cognitive impairment living in the community: systematic review and meta-analysis

Reduced global cognition was not associated with falls. These findings suggest that interventions should target balance impairment and reveal that more high-quality research is needed.PMID:34450352 | DOI:10.1016/j.arr.2021.101452
