Falls in past year
Falls over the past year, self-reported
This variable is only available in MAP and LATC.
Presence of falls is based on self-report using the following question:
How many times would you say you have fallen over the past year? That is, how many times have you unintentionally come to rest on the ground or floor?
Responses are coded into falls present = 1 and absent = 0.
| Value | Response |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 falls |
| 1 | ≥1 falls |
