Diabetes was determined by questionnaire at baseline. Physical performance was measured at the second examination. Subsequently, falls were ascertained every 4 months by postcard.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>RESULTS\u2014A total of 629 (6.8%) women had diabetes, including 99 who used insulin. During an average of 7.2 years, 1,640 women (18%) fell more than once a year. Diabetes, stratified by insulin use, was associated with an increased risk of falling more than once a year (age-adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.68 [95% CI 1.37\u20132.07] for non\u2013insulin-treated diabetes; age-adjusted OR 2.78 [1.82\u20134.24] for insulin-treated diabetes). In the first 2 years of follow-up, women with diabetes were not more likely to fall than women without diabetes (44 vs. 42%; P = 0.26), but they had more falls (3.1 vs. 2.4; P &amp;lt; 0.01). Women with diabetes were more likely to have other risk factors for falls, which appeared to account for the increased risk of falls associated with non\u2013insulin-treated diabetes (adjusted OR 1.18 [0.87\u20131.60]) but not insulin-treated diabetes (adjusted OR 2.76 [1.52\u20135.01]).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>CONCLUSIONS\u2014Older women with diabetes have an increased risk of falling, partly because of the increased rates of known fall risk factors, and may benefit from interventions to prevent falls. Further research is needed to determine whether diabetes treatment reduces fall risk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2337\/diacare.25.10.1749","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,5]],"date-time":"2007-03-05T22:51:27Z","timestamp":1173135087000},"page":"1749-1754","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2337\/ada-journal-policies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":482,"title":["Older Women With Diabetes Have a Higher Risk of Falls"],"prefix":"10.2337","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Ann V.","family":"Schwartz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Teresa A.","family":"Hillier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research, Northwest\/Hawaii, Portland, Oregon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deborah E.","family":"Sellmeyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helaine E.","family":"Resnick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MedStar Research Institute, Washington, DC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edward","family":"Gregg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristine E.","family":"Ensrud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Epidemiology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota"},{"name":"Section of General Internal Medicine, Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pamela J.","family":"Schreiner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Epidemiology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen L.","family":"Margolis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Clinical Epidemiology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jane A.","family":"Cauley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael C.","family":"Nevitt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dennis M.","family":"Black","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven R.","family":"Cummings","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"For the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures Research Group","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1167","reference":[{"key":"2022031217133379200_R1","unstructured":"Rice DP, MacKenzie EJ, et al.: Cost of Injury in the United States: A Report to Congress.
