- Results of mixed-effects logistic and negative binomial regression analyses
- 95 % CI = 95 % confidence interval; OR = odds ratio mixed-effects logistics regression; IRR = incidence rate ratio obtained via negative binomial regression
-
aModel adjusted for baseline score measurement and level of concerns about falls, age, gender, perceived general health, and falls in the past 6 months
-
bAnalyses were performed with a Poisson distribution. This distribution of fall events accounts for over dispersion and incorporates both number of falls and time (weeks) of follow-up; herefore, all available data was used
