Fear of falling (FOF) is a common health concern among older adults. Although cognitive impairment (CI) is a risk factor for FOF, the specific cognitive domains associated with FOF remain unclear. This study examined the association between FOF and domain-specific cognitive functions in older adults. We also analyzed whether this association varied based on CI, recent fall experience, or engagement in physical activity.
