Assessing Recurrent Fall Risk of Community-Dwelling, Frail Older Veterans Using Specific Tests of Mobility and the Physical Performance Test of Function
Published in
Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences & Medical Sciences, November 1998
The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to determine if older individuals at risk for recurrent falls are best identified by mobility or functional assessments.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 November 2017.
All research outputs
#12,359,716
of 34,410,798 outputs
Outputs from Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences & Medical Sciences
#2,793
of 4,824 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#25,466
of 61,379 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences & Medical Sciences
#5
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,410,798 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,824 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 19.3. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 61,379 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
