Abstract
having an FoF. In contrast, cognitive functions did not differ between groups. Conclusion(s): Similar to other studies, we showed that having an FoF is associated with getting older, being a woman, and the experience of falling. However, having an FoF did not appear to influence cognitive function in community-dwelling elderly adults. Implications:Our results suggest that having an FoF does not affect one’s cognitive function. Consequently, FoF may be related to psychological factors unaffected by declines in cognitive functions. However, this study was cross-sectional and cognitive function among participants was good overall. Future longitudinal studies are needed to investigate FoF in a population with poor cognitive functions.
