Results: There was a moderate, negative, and statistically significant relationship between the Morse and BAQ scores of the participants (r=-0.576) (p < 0.05). There was a moderate, positive, and statistically significant relationship between the BAQ and FaB scores of the participants (r = 0.235) (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The results showed a significant relationship between body awareness levels and fall-related behaviors and fall risk in geriatric individuals. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
