PurposeFalls are a major public health problem, especially for older people. This research aimed to provide a direct illustration of fall risks among the homebound older people with dementia in China, and to identify the risk factors associated with it.MethodsIn 2020, a questionnaire-based field survey was used to assess 1,042 people aged over 60 years in Ningbo, Eastern China. The Morse Fall Risk Scale's result was employed as the dependent variable, while the basic health problems, living environment difficulties, social support problems, and behavioral awareness issues were utilized as the independent variables; subsequently, chi-squared tests and four multivariate ordinarily ordered logistic regression models were performed.ResultsOverall, nine hundred and thirty-one older people with dementia were included in this study (the effective rate was 89.34%), with the majority of them having severe dementia (27.9%). Furthermore, 16.2% had fallen in the past 3 months, and 16.8% were at a high risk of falling. The risk factors for the older people's cognitive function included 80–90 years old, vascular dementia, marital status, and history of falls (P < 0.05); the kinds of chronic diseases, the activities of daily living, living environment, caregiver burden, caregiver knowledge, the Cohen Mansfield Agitation Inventory results, and the Clinical Dementia Rating were the protective factors for the risk of falls in them (P < 0.05).ConclusionThe risk of falling of the Chinese homebound older people with dementia was high. Their caregivers, such as relatives, need to pay attention to these risk factors and perform appropriate measures to prevent falls.

BackgroundGrowing evidence has reported an association between multimorbidity and falls and fear of falling (FOF) in older adults, however, the results regarding this association from China are limited. Our study aimed to investigate the association between multimorbidity and falls and FOF in older adults in eastern China.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study in Zhejiang Province, Eastern China, which recruited a provincial representative sample of adults aged ≥ 60 years. A structured questionnaire including demographic characteristics, chronic diseases, history of falls in the past 12 months, and FOF, was administered by all participants. The exposure variable was multimorbidity, which was defined as the presence of two or more chronic diseases and medical conditions in the same individual. The outcomes included a history of falls and FOF. Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between multimorbidity and falls and FOF in older adults.ResultsIn total of 7,774 participants were included in the analysis, among whom 3,898 (50.1%) were female, with a mean ± standard deviation age is 72.9 ± 8.4 years. Multimorbidity was associated with the increased risk of falling in older adults [adjusted odds ratio (OR), 1.99; 95% confidence interval (CI):1.55–2.36]. The ORs for having experienced single fall and repeated falls were 1.85 (95% CI: 1.42–2.42) and 3.45 (95% CI: 1.47–6.97), respectively, with multimorbidity compared with those without chronic diseases. The older adults with multimorbidity were more likely to report FOF compared with those without chronic diseases (adjusted OR, 1.49; 95%CI:1.30–1.70). Moreover, the association between multimorbidity and FOF remained significant in the older adults with a history of fall (OR, 1.57; 95%CI:1.04–2.38).ConclusionThe association between multimorbidity and falls and FOF is significant in the Chinese population and the effects of multimorbidity on falls and FOF do not vary according to the frequency and history of falls in older adults.

BackgroundFalls among older adults are a significant challenge to global healthy aging. Identifying key factors and differences in fall risks, along with developing predictive models, is essential for differentiated and precise interventions in China’s urban and rural older populations.MethodsThe data of 5,876 older adults were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (Waves 2015 and 2018). A total of 87 baseline input variables were considered as candidate features. Predictive models for fall risk over the next 3 years among urban and rural older populations were developed using five machine learning algorithms. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify key factors influencing falls in these populations.ResultsThe fall incidence among older adults was 22.4%, with 23.2% in rural areas and 20.9% in urban areas. Common risk factors across both settings include gender, age, fall history, sleep duration, activities of daily living questionnaire scores, memory status, and chair stand test time. In rural areas, additional risks include being unmarried, having diabetes, heart disease, memory-related medication use, and living in houses built 6–20 years ago. For urban, liver disease, arthritis, physical disabilities, depressive symptoms, weak hand strength, poor relations with children, and digestive medication use are significant risk factors while living in a tidy environment is protective. Random Forest models achieved the highest AUC-ROC and sensitivity in both rural (AUC = 0.732, 95% CI: 0.69–0.78; sensitivity = 0.669) and urban (AUC = 0.734, 95% CI: 0.68–0.79; sensitivity = 0.754) areas. Decision curve analysis confirmed the model’s clinical utility across a range of threshold probabilities. Key predictors included prior experience of falling, gender, and chair stand test performance in rural areas, while in urban areas, experience of falling, gender, and age were the most influential features.ConclusionThe key factors influencing falls among older people differ between urban and rural areas, and the predictive models effectively identify high-risk populations in both settings. This facilitates targeted prevention and precise interventions, supporting healthy aging in China.

We posit that autocrats introduce local elections when their bureaucratic capacity is low. Local elections exploit the citizens' informational advantage in keeping local officials accountable, but they also weaken vertical control. As bureaucratic capacity increases, the autocrat limits the role of elected bodies to regain vertical control. We argue that these insights can explain the introduction of village elections in rural China and the subsequent erosion of village autonomy years later. We construct a novel dataset to document political reforms, policy outcomes and de facto power for almost four decades. We find that the introduction of elections improves popular policies and weakens unpopular ones. Increases in regional government resources lead to loss of village autonomy, but less so in remote villages. These patterns are consistent with an organizational view of local elections within autocracies.
