Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to examine the associations among fall risk appraisal body composition and physical activity in older adults in low-income settings

The main questions it aims to answer are

What is the feasibility of recruitment eg how many older adults need to be screened to recruit the sample especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and acceptability of technologies and procedures for use among older adults in low-income settings
What are the the dynamic relationships between fall risk appraisal body composition physical activity and behavioral changes related to fear of falling

Participants will

complete questionnaires about their characteristics socio-demographic medical history cognition depressive symptoms anxiety and fear of falling
participate in static and dynamic balance tests body composition measurement and handgrip strength test
wear an accelerometer for physical activity assessment for 7 consecutive days
Detailed Description: The investigators will use a cross-sectional design to address aims The investigators will administer the study instruments which consist of objective and subjective measures Participants will complete questionnaires about their characteristics socio-demographic medical history cognition depressive symptoms anxiety and fear of falling

Balance performance will be assessed by the BTrackS Balance System BBS This test consists of four 20 seconds trials For each trial the participants will stand as still as possible on the BBP with hands on their hips and eye closed This test consists of four trials This test will take about 5-10 minutes

Body composition will be assessed using a bioelectrical impedance analysis BIA InBody S10 The BIA InBody S10 measures fat mass muscle mass and body water levels There are no risks no dunking no pinching no discomfort associated with the use of bioelectrical impedance analysis Test duration is 1-2 minutes

Physical Activity PA will be measured by activity monitoring devices All participants will wear the ActiGraph GT9X Link wireless activity monitor ActiGraph LLC a tri-axial accelerometer on the non-dominant wrist for 7 consecutive days
