“…A matched cohort was identified of community‐dwelling individuals who had not been diagnosed with hip or knee osteoarthritis (i.e., had not presented to a physician with joint pain diagnosed as osteoarthritis) from the OAI dataset. The cohorts were matched for: age, ethnicity and PASE score to account for the potential confounder of level of participating physical activity . There was no overlap of patients between these two groups.…”

“…Countries worldwide and the Nordic countries in particular face demographic changes likely to result in the increased lifespan of its citizens, where the number of older people is expected to double by 2050 (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, ). As the frequency of falls and fall‐related injuries increases with age (World Health Organization, , Nilson, Moniruzzaman & Andersson, ; Enderlin et al., ), the incidence of falls is accordingly expected to increase during the twentieth century (Marks, ), putatively resulting in increasing costs for the individual, the community and the society. First are the direct costs, of which are the health care costs, and second are the indirect costs, that is, societal productivity losses of activities due to fall‐related injuries (World Health Organization, ).…”

“…; Meuleners and Hobday ), as well as to be prescribed drugs known to increase the risk of falls, such as antidepressants, anxiolytics and hypnotics (Enderlin et al . ). Thus, potential ways of decreasing the prevalence of falls among older people with ID may be physical activity and physiotherapeutic interventions (Bartlo & Klein ; Van Hanegem et al .…”

“…During the entire lifespan, people with ID are consistently found to have lower balance and gait capacities (Enkelaar et al 2012), as well as poor perceptualmotor coordination (Carmeli et al 2008;Boot et al 2013). They are more likely to have medical conditions known to affect fall risk, such as epilepsy (Lukaszyk et al 2016;Cooper et al 2017), diabetes mellitus (Vinik et al 2017) and dementia Meuleners and Hobday 2017), as well as to 200 be prescribed drugs known to increase the risk of falls, such as antidepressants, anxiolytics and hypnotics (Enderlin et al 2015). Thus, potential ways of decreasing the prevalence of falls among older people with ID may be physical activity and physiotherapeutic interventions (Bartlo & Klein 2011;Van Hanegem et al 2014;Hale et al 2016) and regular drug reviews.…”
