  • 摘要:

    Fear of falling (fof) and falls are increasingly severe worldwide public health problems. The Falls Weight Function (FWF) uses a new scale to incorporate fear of falling (fof) into analyses with participants who have already experienced a fall. FWF is a weight function in the semiparametric ratio estimator (SPRE) to predict a change point and point estimations. FWF data is a discrete set of numbers that is finite or countable. In a study using Stepping On® fall prevention program, initial data from fof responses were counted, summed as increments of .10 values (ranging from .1 to 1.0), and then multiplied by 1fall. The un-weighted value of 1 fall was multiplied by the weight function for fof. Then, the scale of falls and fof is the same, and represented on a continuum from fear of falling to having a fall, so that all participants can be treated and analyzed together.
