Participants were classified according to body mass index as normal weight (&amp;lt;25), overweight (25\u201329.9) and general obesity (\u226530). Abdominal obesity was defined as waist circumference &amp;gt;88\u00a0cm. In 2012, participants reported the falls experienced in the previous year.

For falls, no association was found with general obesity nor abdominal obesity. However, compared with normal weight, overweight women had a decreased risk for falls requiring medical care [odds ratio (OR) 0.57; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.34\u20130.94] and for falls with fractures (OR 0.27; 95% CI 0.12\u20130.63). The corresponding values for general obesity were 0.44 (0.24\u20130.81) and 0.30 (0.11\u20130.82). Abdominal obesity was positively associated with falls requiring medical care (OR 1.82; 95% CI 1.12\u20132.94) and falls with fractures (OR 2.75; 95% CI 1.18\u20136.44).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>in older women, general obesity may protect from falls requiring medical care and falls with fractures.
