Associations of fall experiences with cognitive function and activities of daily living disability among older adults: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of Korean gerontological nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study examined the associations of fall experiences with cognitive function and activities of daily living (ADL) disability among older adults.
methodsUsing data from the 2023 National Survey of Older Koreans, a total of 9,816 individuals aged 65 years or older were analyzed. Independent samples t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square tests, linear regression, and logistic regression analyses were conducted. Additionally, subgroup regression analyses were conducted to identify socially vulnerable groups according to age group, education level, and caregiving expenses.
resultsThe analysis showed that cognitive function tended to be lower in individuals with fall experience (β=-0.44, p=.026), and the odds of ADL disability were higher among individuals with fall experience (odds ratio [OR]=2.04, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]=1.63~2.54). In addition, subgroup analyses showed that cognitive function was lower among individuals with fall experience in the ≥85 years group (β=- 1.30, p=.020) and among those with education at elementary school or below (β=-0.88, p=.001). The odds of ADL disability among those with fall experience were higher among those aged 65~74 years (vs. 75~84; OR=2.80, 95% CI=1.99~3.94) and ≥85 years (vs. 75~84; OR=2.59, 95% CI=1.38~4.84), those with higher education (vs. lower; OR=4.95, 95% CI=1.19~20.60), and those with no caregiving expenses (vs. any; OR=2.06, 95% CI=1.63~2.60).
conclusionThese findings provide important foundational data for both policy development and academic research. They highlight the need for a multifaceted approach to fall prevention and underscore its importance in enhancing the quality of life for the older adults.
