Recovery of isolated lithium through discharged state calendar ageing.

Rechargeable Li-metal batteries have the potential to more than double the specific energy of the state-of-the-art rechargeable Li-ion batteries, making Li-metal batteries a prime candidate for next-generation high-energy battery technology1-3. However, current Li-metal batteries suffer from fast cycle degradation compared with their Li-ion battery counterparts2,3, preventing their practical adoption. A main contributor to capacity degradation is the disconnection of Li from the electrochemical circuit, forming isolated Li4-8. Calendar ageing studies have shown that resting in the charged state promotes further reaction of active Li with the surrounding electrolyte9-12. Here we discover that calendar ageing in the discharged state improves capacity retention through isolated Li recovery, which is in contrast with the well-known phenomenon of capacity degradation observed during the charged state calendar ageing. Inactive capacity recovery is verified through observation of Coulombic efficiency greater than 100% on both Li||Cu half-cells and anode-free cells using a hybrid continuous-resting cycling protocol and with titration gas chromatography. An operando optical setup further confirms excess isolated Li reactivation as the predominant contributor to the increased capacity recovery. These insights into a previously unknown pathway for capacity recovery through discharged state resting emphasize the marked impact of cycling strategies on Li-metal battery performance.

Understanding and Harnessing Nanoscale Immiscibility in Ru-In Alloys for Selective CO2 Hydrogenation.

Bimetallic alloys made from immiscible elements are characterized by their tendency to segregate on the macroscopic scale, but their behavior is known to change at the nanoscale. Here, we demonstrate that in the Ru-In system, In atoms preferentially decorate the surface of 6 nm Ru nanoparticles, forming Ru-In superficial immiscible alloys. This surface decoration dramatically affects the catalytic performance of the system, even at small atomic fractions of In added to Ru. The interfaces between Ru and In enabled unexplored methanol productivity from CO2 hydrogenation, which outperformed not only the individual constituents but also ordered RuIn3 intermetallic alloys. Our work highlights that the formation of superficial immiscible alloys could offer new insights into the understanding and design of heterogeneous catalysts.

A diagnostic framework to identify vestibular involvement in multi-sensory neurological disease.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Identifying vestibular causes of dizziness and unsteadiness in multi-sensory neurological disease can be challenging, with problems typically attributed to central or peripheral nerve involvement. Acknowledging vestibular dysfunction as part of the presentation provides an opportunity to access targeted vestibular rehabilitation, for which extensive evidence exists. A diagnostic framework was developed and validated to detect vestibular dysfunction, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo or vestibular migraine. The specificity and sensitivity of the diagnostic framework was tested in patients with primary mitochondrial disease. METHODS: Adults with a confirmed diagnosis of primary mitochondrial disease were consented, between September 2020 and February 2022. Participants with and without dizziness or unsteadiness underwent remote physiotherapy assessment and had in-person detailed neuro-otological assessment. The six framework question responses were compared against objective neuro-otological assessment or medical notes. The output was binary, with sensitivity and specificity calculated. RESULTS: Seventy-four adults completed the study: age range 20-81 years (mean 48 years, ±SD 15.05 years); ratio 2:1 female to male. The framework identified a vestibular diagnosis in 35 participants, with seven having two diagnoses. The framework was able to identify vestibular diagnoses in adults with primary mitochondrial disease, with a moderate (40-59) to very high (90-100) sensitivity and positive predictive value, and moderate to high (60-74) to very high (90-100) specificity and negative predictive value. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the clinical framework identified common vestibular diagnoses with a moderate to very high specificity and sensitivity. This presents an opportunity for patients to access effective treatment in a timely manner, to reduce falls and improve quality of life.

Examining pain, function, behavioral symptoms and associations with engagement in meaningful activity for residents with dementia in assisted living.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine factors associated with engagement in meaningful activity among residents with dementia in assisted living. We hypothesized that greater functional independence, less pain, and lower behavioral and psychological symptom severity would be associated with higher engagement in meaningful activity after controlling for residents' age, gender, comorbidities, and cognition. Understanding factors associated with engagement in meaningful activity can help to inform strategies for optimizing engagement among residents with dementia in assisted living. METHOD: This descriptive study used baseline data from a randomized controlled trial, Meaningful Activity for Managing Behavioral Symptoms of Distress (MAC-4-BSD). Linear regression was used to examine factors associated with engagement in meaningful activity. RESULTS: A total of 71 residents from 5 assisted living settings were included in the sample. Most participants were female (n = 52, 73%), White (n = 62, 87%), and mean age was 85 years old (SD = 8.2). Controlling for age, gender, comorbidities, and cognition, pain was significantly associated with engagement in meaningful activity (b= -2.09, p < 0.05). There were no associations found between function and behavioral symptoms with engagement in meaningful activity. CONCLUSION: Findings from this study show that pain is a significant factor that is negatively associated with residents' engagement in meaningful activity. Ongoing research is needed to help improve pain management for residents with dementia in assisted living and support their engagement in meaningful activity.

Testing the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of Meaningful Activity for Managing Behavioral Symptoms of Distress (MAC-4-BSD) intervention for residents with dementia in assisted living: Protocol description.

The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the protocol for an Alzheimer's Association-funded cluster randomized trial that focuses on engaging assisted living residents with dementia in meaningful activity to help address their behavioral symptoms of distress using a theoretically based approach, Meaningful Activity for Managing Behavioral Symptoms of Distress (MAC-4-BSD). The development of MAC-4-BSD was based on the Social Ecological Model and Social Cognitive Theory. The MAC-4-BSD intervention includes the following four steps: (1) Assessment of the assisted living physical environment and policies to facilitate meaningful activity; (2) Education of staff about implementation of meaningful activity; (3) Assessment of resident preferences and goals for meaningful activity; (4) Mentoring and motivating staff and residents to facilitate engagement in meaningful activity. The overall aim of this study will be to determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of implementing the MAC-4-BSD intervention and test whether it will improve residents' engagement in meaningful activity, behavioral symptoms of distress, and quality of life as well as the environment and policies to promote meaningful activity in assisted living.

Nursing Home Characteristics Associated with Antipsychotic Prescribing After Implementation of the National Antipsychotic Reduction Initiative (ARI).

OBJECTIVES: To describe nursing home (NH) characteristics associated with antipsychotic use and test whether associations changed after implementation of the National Partnership to Improve Dementia Care's antipsychotic reduction initiative (ARI). METHODS: Longitudinal quasi-experimental design using data from multiple sources and piecewise linear mixed models were used for statistical analyses. RESULTS: There was a significant decrease in monthly antipsychotic use across the study period (pre-ARI b = -0.0003, p <.001; post-ARI b = -0.0012, p <.001), which held after adjusting for NH characteristics. Registered nurse hours (b = -0.0026, p <.001), licensed practical nurse hours (b = -0.0019, p <.001), facility chain membership (b = -0.0013, p <.01), and health inspection ratings (b = -0.0003, p >.01) were associated with decreased antipsychotic use. Post-ARI changes in associations between NH characteristics and antipsychotic use were small and not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Decreases in antipsychotic use were associated with most NH characteristics, and associations persisted post-ARI. Further research is warranted to examine the interactions between ARI policy and NH characteristics on antipsychotic prescribing, as well as other NH factors, such as facility prescribing cultures and clinical specialty of staff. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Decreases in monthly antipsychotic use were observed following the ARI. The decreases in monthly antipsychotic use were associated with most NH characteristics, and these associations persisted during the post-ARI period.

Dissolution of the Solid Electrolyte Interphase and Its Effects on Lithium Metal Anode Cyclability.

At >95% Coulombic efficiencies, most of the capacity loss for Li metal anodes (LMAs) is through the formation and growth of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). However, the mechanism through which this happens remains unclear. One property of the SEI that directly affects its formation and growth is the SEI's solubility in the electrolyte. Here, we systematically quantify and compare the solubility of SEIs derived from ether-based electrolytes optimized for LMAs using in-operando electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). A correlation among solubility, passivity, and cyclability established in this work reveals that SEI dissolution is a major contributor to the differences in passivity and electrochemical performance among battery electrolytes. Together with our EQCM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy results, we show that solubility depends on not only the SEI's composition but also the properties of the electrolyte. This provides a crucial piece of information that could help minimize capacity loss due to SEI formation and growth during battery cycling and aging.

Patient Outcomes After Delirium Screening and Incident Alzheimer's Disease or Related Dementias in Skilled Nursing Facilities.

BACKGROUND: The extent to which a positive delirium screening and new diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (ADRD) increases the risk for re-hospitalization, long-term nursing home placement, and death remains unknown. OBJECTIVE: To compare long-term outcomes among newly admitted skilled nursing facility (SNF) patients with delirium, incident ADRD, and both conditions. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A retrospective cohort study of Medicare beneficiaries who entered a SNF from hospital with a minimum 14-day stay (n = 100,832) from 2015 to 2016. MAIN MEASURES: Return to home, hospital readmission, admission to a long-term care facility, or death. KEY RESULTS: Patients with delirium were as likely to be discharged home as patients diagnosed with ADRD (HR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.59, 0.67; HR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.64, 0.67). Patients with both delirium and ADRD were less likely to be discharged home (HR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.47, 0.52) and showed increased risk of death (HR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.17, 1.45). Patients with ADRD, regardless of delirium screening status, had increased risk for long-term nursing home care transfer (HR: 1.66, 95% CI: 1.63, 1.70; HR: 1.76, 95% CI: 1.69, 1.82). Patients with delirium and no ADRD showed increased risk of transfer to long-term nursing home care (HR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.18, 1.33). The rate of deaths was higher among patients who screened positive for delirium without ADRD compared to the no delirium and no ADRD groups (HR: 2.35, 95% CI: 2.11, 2.61). CONCLUSION: A positive delirium screening increased risk of death and transfer to long-term care in the first 100 days after admission regardless of incident ADRD diagnosis. Patients with delirium and/or ADRD also are less likely to be discharged home. Our study builds on the evidence base that delirium is important to address in older adults as it is associated with negative outcomes.

Andersen-Tawil syndrome: deep phenotyping reveals significant cardiac and neuromuscular morbidity.

Andersen-Tawil syndrome is a neurological channelopathy caused by mutations in the KCNJ2 gene that encodes the ubiquitously expressed Kir2.1 potassium channel. The syndrome is characterized by episodic weakness, cardiac arrythmias and dysmorphic features. However, the full extent of the multisystem phenotype is not well described. In-depth, multisystem phenotyping is required to inform diagnosis and guide management. We report our findings following deep multimodal phenotyping across all systems in a large case series of 69 total patients, with comprehensive data for 52. As a national referral centre, we assessed point prevalence and showed it is higher than previously reported, at 0.105 per 100 000 population in England. While the classical phenotype of episodic weakness is recognized, we found that a quarter of our cohort have fixed myopathy and 13.5% required a wheelchair or gait aid. We identified frequent fat accumulation on MRI and tubular aggregates on muscle biopsy, emphasizing the active myopathic process underpinning the potential for severe neuromuscular disability. Long exercise testing was not reliable in predicting neuromuscular symptoms. A normal long exercise test was seen in five patients, of whom four had episodic weakness. Sixty-seven per cent of patients treated with acetazolamide reported a good neuromuscular response. Thirteen per cent of the cohort required cardiac defibrillator or pacemaker insertion. An additional 23% reported syncope. Baseline electrocardiograms were not helpful in stratifying cardiac risk, but Holter monitoring was. A subset of patients had no cardiac symptoms, but had abnormal Holter monitor recordings which prompted medication treatment. We describe the utility of loop recorders to guide management in two such asymptomatic patients. Micrognathia was the most commonly reported skeletal feature; however, 8% of patients did not have dysmorphic features and one-third of patients had only mild dysmorphic features. We describe novel phenotypic features including abnormal echocardiogram in nine patients, prominent pain, fatigue and fasciculations. Five patients exhibited executive dysfunction and slowed processing which may be linked to central expression of KCNJ2. We report eight new KCNJ2 variants with in vitro functional data. Our series illustrates that Andersen-Tawil syndrome is not benign. We report marked neuromuscular morbidity and cardiac risk with multisystem involvement. Our key recommendations include proactive genetic screening of all family members of a proband. This is required, given the risk of cardiac arrhythmias among asymptomatic individuals, and a significant subset of Andersen-Tawil syndrome patients have no (or few) dysmorphic features or negative long exercise test. We discuss recommendations for increased cardiac surveillance and neuropsychometry testing.

The association of physical activity and behavioral and psychological symptoms among a sample of hospitalized older adults living with dementia.

OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to: (1) describe the prevalence of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia in hospitalized older adults living with dementia and (2) examine the association of physical activity and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia among hospitalized older adults living with dementia, after controlling for covariates. METHODS: Physical activity was measured using the Physical Activity Survey and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia were measured using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory. Descriptive analysis and multiple linear regressions were run using baseline data on 294 older adults with dementia hospitalized on general medical units from an ongoing study entitled Function Focused Care for Acute Care Using the Evidence Integration Triangle. RESULTS: Participants performed an average of 7.92 (SD = 4.49) of 34 possible activities "in the last 24 h" prior to the Physical Activity Survey administration. A total of 132 participants (45.5%) had at least one behavioral and psychological symptom of dementia. We found that physical activity was not associated with behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (b = 0.01; p = 0.56), after controlling for covariates. CONCLUSIONS: Although this study found no evidence of an association between physical activity and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, evidence of physical activity did not exacerbate these behaviors. Thus, given the benefits of physical activity, it is important to continue to encourage patients living with dementia to engage in activity.

Examining transitions of care among nursing home residents with and without antipsychotic medication use.

OBJECTIVES: This study examines the association between antipsychotic (AP) medication use and care transitions in the nursing home (NH) population. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used data from a 5% random sample of Medicare beneficiaries between 2011 and 2015. Propensity score adjusted negative binomial regression was performed and conditional probabilities of having a first transition from the NH to specific locations were calculated. RESULTS: Among 150,284 eligible beneficiaries, the majority were female (67%), white (84%), and >75 years old (63%). Controlling for resident characteristics, the odds of having any transition was 5% lower among those with AP use [IRR (95% confidence interval (CI))=0.95(0.94-0.96)] relative to those with no AP use. Residents with AP use had higher proportions of transitions to hospital (22.7% vs. 19.5%, p < 0.01), emergency department (19.6% vs. 10.7%, p < 0.01), and different NH (1.5% vs. 0.4%, p < 0.01), and lower proportions of transition to non-healthcare locations compared to those without AP use. CONCLUSIONS: Findings demonstrate that residents with AP use had higher probabilities of transitions to more costly care settings such as the emergency department and hospital compared to those without AP use. Future longitudinal studies will help to inform clinical interventions aimed at improving the quality of care for this population.

The Association Between Engagement in Activities of Daily Living and Care Interactions for Residents Living With Dementia.

BACKGROUND: Care interactions are essential to residents with dementia. PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to describe the characteristics and quality of staff-resident care interactions among nursing home residents living with dementia and to test whether the quality of staff-resident care interactions varied by resident level of engagement in the interaction. Specifically, it was hypothesized that controlling for age, gender, comorbidities, cognition, and function, actively engaged residents would have more positive care interactions with staff compared with passively engaged residents. METHODS: This was a secondary data analysis using baseline data from the Evidence Integration Triangle for Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia intervention study. RESULTS: A total of 532 residents were included. Actively engaged residents had significantly more positive interactions compared to passively engaged residents. CONCLUSIONS: Passively engaged residents may be at risk to receive poor quality care interactions. Strategies and interventions to optimize care interactions for these individuals are needed.

Research priorities for mitochondrial disorders: Current landscape and patient and professional views.

Primary mitochondrial disorders encompass a wide range of clinical presentations and a spectrum of severity. They currently lack effective disease-modifying therapies and have a high mortality and morbidity rate. It is therefore essential to know that competitively funded research designed by academics meets the core needs of people with mitochondrial disorders and their clinicians. Priority setting partnerships are an established collaborative methodology that brings patients, carers and families, charity representatives and clinicians together to try to establish the most pressing and unanswered research priorities for a particular disease. We developed a web-based questionnaire, requesting all patients affected by primary mitochondrial disease, their carers and clinicians to pose their research questions. This yielded 709 questions from 147 participants. These were grouped into overarching themes including basic biology, causation, health services, clinical management, social impacts, prognosis, prevention, symptoms, treatment and psychological impact. Following the removal of "answered questions", the process resulted in a list of 42 discrete, answerable questions. This was further refined by web-based ranking by the community to 24 questions. These were debated at a face-to-face workshop attended by a diverse range of patients, carers, charity representatives and clinicians to create a definitive "Top 10 of unanswered research questions for primary mitochondrial disorders". These Top 10 questions related to understanding biological processes, including triggers of disease onset, mechanisms underlying progression and reasons for differential symptoms between individuals with identical genetic mutations; new treatments; biomarker discovery; psychological support and optimal management of stroke-like episodes and fatigue.

Resilience in relation to older adults with multimorbidity: A scoping review.

The purpose of this scoping review is to identify conceptual and theoretical resilience models, types of resilience measures, and outcomes regarding resilience in relation to older adults with multimorbidity. PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched, and we identified 14 studies to July 2021. Most models operationalize resilience as dependent on the social and environmental context of older adults. Three of the five resilience measures in the included studies are used to evaluate general resilience. They are primarily psychological or psychosocial in nature, and measuring physical resilience therefore may help to better understand individuals' ability to cope with the physical challenges associated with various chronic diseases. Quality of life and physical activity were common outcomes in studies of resilience. Findings highlight the need for studies that incorporate physiological measures or physical properties of resilience and longitudinal studies that capture the dynamic process of resilience in older adults with multimorbidity.

Excluded or Part of the Team? Investigating of the Role of Grandparents in Christian Faith Nurture, Using Discourse Analysis.

Background: Existing literature emphasised the spiritual value of grandparents in a child's faith nurture, but this was not reflected in contemporary understandings or practices of the Christian community. Purpose: The discourses surrounding the perceptions and practices of grandparents themselves, the local church and wider Christian society were investigated; uncovering the dynamics of cross-generational relationships and interactions with a child's spiritual journey. Methods: Data was gathered from Christian media, resourcing organisations, denominational websites and focus group interviews with grandparents and church representatives, to reveal the discourses conveyed by individuals, institutions and the wider Christian community. Critical discourse analysis was used to investigate perceptions and implications. Results: Grandparents unanimously reported collective worth and purpose in their grandparent-grandchild relations. However, church representatives observed barriers and tensions regarding their involvement in faith nurture, citing a culture of privacy surrounding faith. Denominational websites and Christian media indicated that grandparents were not integral to church strategies, being rarely mentioned, resourced or empowered. The dominant discourses were of grandparents being passive agents with background involvement. Resourcing primarily conveyed romanticism and nostalgia rather than addressing contemporary family life. For some, these relationships facilitated discussions about faith, whilst others said their family's faith identity was unspoken. The grandparents were primarily motivated personally and independently of external bodies, often adopting a 'trial and error' mentality, suggesting a highly individual rather than collective approach to faith nurture of grandchildren. The local church rarely championed grandparents in this role, leading to grandparents being passive and feeling excluded. Many lacked confidence and were disengaged with faith nurture. Conclusions and Implications: The value of grandparents needs better communicating, moving them from being minor contributors at the periphery of the team to being more actively and intentionally involved. This requires enhanced understanding at institutional and societal levels of grandparents' role, and improvement in the functionality and efficacy of interactions between grandparents and their grandchildren. Redressing of the power dynamics at play within congregations and society is required to bring grandparents more equally into the equation. A paradigm shift is required at all levels to equip, empower and include grandparents more fully. This would lead to improved Christian faith transmission.

The impact of COVID-19 in an assisted living community.

The purpose of this study was to use routinely collected resident assessment data from a single site to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on cognition, physical function and behavioral symptoms of residents with dementia. Specifically, it was hypothesized that controlling for age and sex, there would be a decline in cognition and function and an increase in behavioral symptoms at 12 months post implementation of COVID-19 restrictions. Twelve residents from a single memory care site with required Resident Assessments completed prior to and 12 month post initiation of the pandemic and associated quarantines were included. No significant change was noted in function or behavioral symptoms but there was a statistically significant decline in cognition over the 12 month period. Although this study did not support our hypothesis, the findings supported some prior research also noting little significant change among the majority of individuals over the course of the pandemic regardless of regulations.

Skeletal muscle channelopathies: a guide to diagnosis and management.

Skeletal muscle channelopathies are a group of rare episodic genetic disorders comprising the periodic paralyses and the non-dystrophic myotonias. They may cause significant morbidity, limit vocational opportunities, be socially embarrassing, and sometimes are associated with sudden cardiac death. The diagnosis is often hampered by symptoms that patients may find difficult to describe, a normal examination in the absence of symptoms, and the need to interpret numerous tests that may be normal or abnormal. However, the symptoms respond very well to holistic management and pharmacological treatment, with great benefit to quality of life. Here, we review when to suspect a muscle channelopathy, how to investigate a possible case and the options for therapy once a diagnosis is made.

Students' perceptions of interprofessional education in geriatrics: A qualitative analysis.

Interprofessional education (IPE) is critical for ensuring that students are prepared to collaborate with team members across disciplines once they enter clinical practice; particularly, in the complex care of the geriatric population. This qualitative study explored the experiences of interdisciplinary students in a clinical based IPE experience at a senior housing residence. Reflective journals were examined from students (n = 23) in nursing, social work, pharmacy, and medicine participating in an IPE program. Four core themes emerged in the analysis: exposure to geriatrics, IPE advantages for students, IPE advantages for older adults, and IPE challenges. Findings from this study confirmed advantages of IPE in a real-world clinical setting in terms of students learning the value and scope of practice of interdisciplinary team members. The exposure to geriatrics helped students to gain an in-depth understanding of issues affecting older adults in the community and increase professional confidence in their future clinical practice.

Pain Assessment, Management, and Impact Among Older Adults in Assisted Living.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to describe the incidence, pharmacologic management, and impact of pain on function, agitation, and resistiveness to care among assisted living residents. DESIGN: This was a descriptive study. DATA SOURCES: Baseline data from 260 residents in the second cohort of the study Dissemination and Implementation of Function Focused Care for Assisted Living Using the Evidence Integration Triangle. REVIEW/ANALYSIS METHODS: Descriptive analyses for the Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia (PAINAD), Visual Descriptor Scale (VDS), and use of medication for pain management and hypothesis testing using linear regression analyses were performed. RESULTS: The majority of the sample was female (71%) and white (96%) with a mean age of 87 (standard deviation = 7). Fifty-two out of the 260 residents (20%) reported pain based on either the PAINAD or the VDS. Out of the total 260 residents, 75 (29%) received pain medication. Twenty-two out of the 52 individuals (42%) reporting pain were not getting pain medication. Controlling for age, gender, and cognition, the PAINAD was significantly associated with agitation, function, and resistiveness to care and the VDS was only associated with function. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of pain was low among participants based on the PAINAD or the VDS. Pain measured by the PAINAD was significantly associated with function, agitation, and resistiveness to care.

The Impact of Physical Activity and Function on Falls in Assisted Living Residents.

The purpose of this study was to describe physical activity and function of older adults in assisted living communities and test the association between moderate and vigorous activity and falls. This study used baseline data from 393 participants from the first two cohorts in the Function-Focused Care in Assisted Living Using the Evidence Integration Triangle study. The majority of participants were female (N = 276, 70%) and White (N = 383, 97%) with a mean age of 87 years (SD = 7). Controlling for age, cognition, gender, setting, and function, the time spent in moderate or vigorous levels of physical activity was associated with having a fall in the prior 4 months. Those who engaged in more moderate physical activity were 0.6% less likely to have a fall (OR = 0.994, Wald statistic = 5.54, p = .02), and those who engaged in more vigorous activity were 2% less likely to have a fall (OR = 0.980, Wald statistic = 3.88, p = .05).
