Our study is featured in Big Number @washingtonpost Using @ALSWH, findings support ongoing #physicalactivity of 150min/week for fall prevention @CRE_PFI @CathieSherr @Saamaankh @XeniaDolja_Gore @mummajulz @AnneTiedemann1 @JulianaSOlive11 @mabpinheiro
Women who have not been very physically active over the years were 40 percent more likely to experience a fall when they reached their 70s, according to new research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

One of my favorite work using data from @ALSWH_Official. The study stresses the importance of staying physically active from middle-age onwards, aiming for at least 150 minutes/week of activity, for fall prevention. @CathieSherr @Saamaankh @XeniaDolja_Gore @mummajulz & others

@JAMANetworkOpen @ALSWH_Official @CathieSherr @Saamaankh @XeniaDolja_Gore @mummajulz @AnneTiedemann1 @mabpinheiro @JulianaSOlive11 To illustrate the associations between physical activity and falls graphically, participation in 150-300 minutes or ≥300 minutes of physical activity was associated with reduced risk of falls with and without injuries.

Using @ALSWH_offical, #physicalactivity was associated with⬇️injurious falls in older women. Physical function limitation and frailty modified the association between PA and injurious falls @CathieSherr @mummajulz @XeniaDolja_Gore @Saamaankh & many others
