🧠✨ New Research Alert!
The study “Balancing on the edge of age: neuroendocrine, mental health and functional fitness correlates of fear of falling in older women” by Sónia Brito-Costa has just been published in Clinics (Elsevier).
👵💪 The research explores how stress hormones, mental health, and functional fitness interact with the fear of falling in older women.
Higher cortisol and depression levels were linked to a greater fear of falling — while higher DHEA and better fitness were protective factors.
A step forward in understanding how body and mind connect in healthy aging. 💫
