اختلال تنظیم شده با سقوط قبلی در افراد با و بدون بیماری پارکینسون مرتبط است

Impaired set shifting was associated with previous falls after controlling for age, sex, overall cognitive function, PD status, FOG, and PD disease duration (OR = 1.29 [1.03–1.60]; P = 0.02). Consistent with literature, PD and FOG were also independently associated with increased fall prevalence (PD OR = 4.15 [95% CI 1.65–10.44], P < 0.01; FOG OR = 3.63 [1.22–10.80], P = 0.02). Although the strongest associations between set shifting and falling were observed among PD without FOG (OR = 2.11) compared to HOA (OR = 1.14) and PD with FOG (OR = 1.46), no statistically-significant differences were observed across groups. SIGNIFICANCE. Impaired set shifting is associated with previous falls in older adults with and without PD. Set shifting may be useful to include in fall risk assessments, particularly when global cognitive measures are within reference limits.
