Abstract

Date Presented 4/19/2018

We aimed to identify fall risk factors that contribute to an increased likelihood of self-reported fall rates in a sample of people with Type 2 diabetes. We also sought to detect fall risk factors that were significantly different between self-reported fallers and nonfallers in this sample.
