Zusammenfassung:Aim. This study was to explore the relationship of older adults’ demographic information, physiological indices, and stages of frailty with their risk of falling. Methods. In the cross-sectional study, a total of 221 older adults with the mean age 74.9 (SD=6.8) years old were surveyed by senior fitness test. Results. Results were observed in terms of participants’ physical fitness, with significant differences being observed in the correlations of left-hand grip strength (t=5.05, p
