Nature of the fall in relation to health characteristics for the two major indoor categories environmental and physiological. Legend: P values for differences between categories were calculated using Fisher’s exact test. Mobility (low) p = 0.461, personal activities of daily living (dependent in ≥1) p = 0.477, self-rated balance (bad) p = 0.075, previous falls (≥1 previous year) p = 1.0, physical activity (sedentary) p = 0.774, grip strength (abnormally low) p = 0.380, chronic diseases (≥2) p = 0.381, fall-risk-increasing drugs (≥2) p = 1.0.
