Aging, Mobility, and Risk: A Study on Falls and Preventive Measures
Journal: TEM Journal
Year: 2026

Existing literature consistently shows that 30–50% of adults aged ≥65 experience at least one fall annually, primarily due to age-related mobility decline, environmental hazards, and physiological changes affecting balance. Prior research highlights the effectiveness of physical activity interventions, home environment modification, and standardized mobility assessments such as the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test in reducing fall risk. However, evidence from Eastern Europe remains limited. This study
