چکیده انگلیسی
To compare prevalence and risk factors associated with fear of falling (FoF) in two groups of elderly people, 109 patients with recurrent dizziness and 109 controls without dizziness. FoF was defined as a positive response to the single question and with Falls Efficacy Scale of >50. The prevalence of FoF was greater (71.6%) in the dizzy group (control, 31.2%; p < 0.001). Factors associated with FoF in the dizzy-group were diabetes, high General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) score and poor balance score. In the non-dizzy group, female gender, high GHQ, and poor gait score in Tinetti's scale were the association. Further research is needed to explore the relationship between dizziness and FoF.
