The prevalence of FoF in individuals with HD, formal caregivers and informal caregivers was 47.6%, 25.6%, and 63.5%, respectively, for care-independent individuals with HD and 46.9%, 26.3%, and 62.0%, respectively, for care-dependent individuals with HD. Anticipatory awareness of fall risks and gender are predictors of FoF in care-independent individuals with HD, though not in the care-dependent group. A combination of fall preventive measures is used in most individuals with HD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fall prevalence is high and FoF is common in individuals with HD and their caregivers.
