摘要

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between physical fitness age and fall risk score. The subjects were 24 females aged 60 to 79 years, all subjects were underwent blood tests, rest electrocardiogram, fall risk questionnaire and physical fitness test. The physical fitness test items included height, body weight, blood press, waist circumferences, sit and reach, functional reach, grip strength, vertical jump, stepping side-to-side, and 2-min step. Then we used the physical fitness test score to substitute the physical fitness age formula in order to get the physical fitness age. The Pearson's product-moment correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the fall risk score and physical fitness age, physical fitness items. The fall risk score was correlated with physical fitness age (r=.50, p＜.05), functional reach (r=-.41, p＜.05), vertical jump (r=-.49, p＜.05), stepping side-to-side (r=-.43, p＜.05). The results indicates that the people of lower physical fitness age have higher fall risk, and those who have lower functional reach, vertical jump, stepping side-to-side performance have higher fall risk.
