Lower-limb hypopallesthesia: A risk factor for falls in cognitively intact non-diabetic older adults

Peripheral neuropathies (PN) in older adults often involve altered vibrational perception, i.e. hypopallesthesia. The main objective of this cross-sectional study was to determine whether age-related lower-limb hypopallesthesia is associated with a history falls cognitively intact non-diabetic adults. population comprised 157 people (mean, 71.5 ± 3.8years, 45.3 % female, 19.7 falls). Fallers more exhibited than non-fallers (13.3 versus 1.6 %, P = 0.04). Multiple logistic regression showed that (odds ratio (OR) 19.5 [95 confidence interval (CI): 2.7–143.7], 0.004) the sample
