The program consisted of five combined exercises, which progressed in difficulty, and a walking plan. Controls received fall prevention education. Physical functioning and other outcomes were measured at 3\u2010 and 6\u2010month follow\u2010up visits.

The estimated incidence rate ratio was 0.75 (95% CI 0.55\u20131.04), which was not statistically significant.
