Fear of falling (FOF) could be considered a risk indicator for falls and quality of life in individuals with MCI. Our objective was to explore factors associated with FOF in those with MCI due to Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD-MCI) and mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD-MCI). Seventy-one participants were separated into two groups, AD-MCI (n = 37) and PD-MCI (n = 34), based on the disease diagnosis. FOF was assessed using the Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale. The neuropsychological assessment and gait assessment were also measured. FOF was significantly correlated with global cognitive function, attention and working memory, executive function, Tinetti assessment scale scores, gait speed, and stride length in the AD-MCI group. Moreover, attention and working memory were the most important factors contributing to FOF. In the PD-MCI group, FOF was significantly correlated with gait speed, and time up and go subtask performance. Furthermore, turn-to-walk was the most important factor contributing to FOF. We noted that FOF in different types of MCI was determined by different factors. Therapies that aim to lower FOF in AD-MCI and PD-MCI populations may address attention and working memory and turn-to-walk, respectively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci12080990","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,26]],"date-time":"2022-07-26T22:03:42Z","timestamp":1658873022000},"page":"990","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Factors Associated with Fear of Falling in Individuals with Different Types of Mild Cognitive Impairment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8391-3088","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pei-Hao","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, MacKay Memorial Hospital, Taipei 104, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, MacKay Medical College, New Taipei City 252, Taiwan"},{"name":"Graduate Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2230-1651","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ya-Yuan","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Long-Term Care, MacKay Medical College, New Taipei City 252, Taiwan"},{"name":"Kaifeng Minquan Day Care Center, Taipei 104, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying-Yi","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gerontological Health Care, National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences, Taipei 112, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shih-Jung","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, MacKay Memorial Hospital, Taipei 104, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, MacKay Medical College, New Taipei City 252, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy and Assistive Technology, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei 112, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pei-Ning","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Neurological Institute, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei 112, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei 112, Taiwan"},{"name":"Brain Research Center, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei 112, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fang-Yu","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Long-Term Care, MacKay Medical College, New Taipei City 252, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"273","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2009.2016","article-title":"The patient who falls: Challenges for families, clinicians, and communities","volume":"303","author":"Katz","year":"2010","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"312","DOI":"10.1080\/13825585.2014.933770","article-title":"Fear of falling and falls in older adults with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer\u2019s disease","volume":"22","author":"Radanovic","year":"2015","journal-title":"Neuropsychol.
