Depressive Symptoms, Subjective Cognitive Decline, and Subjective Sleep Quality Are Associated with Slips and Falls: Data from the Community Health Survey in Korean Adults

Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that depressive symptoms, SCD, and poor subjective sleep quality are independent factors affecting the occurrence of slips/falls. Thus, efforts to manage depressive symptoms and cognitive decline early and to improve sleep quality can be an alternative strategy to decrease the likelihood of falls.Gerontology
