Using the Anderson-Gill extension of the Cox model that allows multiple fall outcomes per patient,the adjusted fall incidence ratio for treatment arms including general exercise was 0.90%(95%confidence limits[CL],0.81,0. 99)and for those including balance was 0.83(95%CL 0.70,0.98).No exercise component was significant for injurious falls,but power was low to detect this outcome.Treatments including exercise for elderly adults reduce the risk of falls. |
