Abstract
The relationship between fear of falling (FOF) and fall-related injuries in elderly is becoming quite prominent and its factors have not been explored. FOF is a person's anxiety towards mobilizing, with a perception that a fall will occur. Approximately 25% to 55% of community-living elderly are afraid of falling. The context of this problem is generalized in terms of FOF and has no sufficient data available for washroom spaces. Physical, medical, and psychological performances of 175 people in the age gap of 65 - 75 years were considered, over three cities i.e., Mumbai, Pune, and Kota. Past fall histories, medical histories, GAUG tests and responses to various washroom activities were recorded to establish the FES table. On the basis of these evaluations the factors causing FOF were determined, and a city comparison was made. This chapter provides an overview of FOF and a foundation on which to base decisions about the design of preventive interventions.
