Description
Fear of falling and being stuck at home may feed each other in old age. Qianyuan Li and five co-authors tested that two-way link in 2024 with survey waves from 2015 to 2019. Their group held close to four thousand older folk who lived in the community and had full data on both counts. Fear was split into none, fear alone, and fear that cut back daily acts.
Folk with fear, with or without cut-back acts, ran a higher chance of ending up half or fully homebound in later waves. Being half homebound in turn raised the chance of fear later on. Use of aids such as walkers changed the strength of both links. The team urge that plans to stop folk sliding homebound treat the fear and the homebound state as one pair.
