Purpose of Study
We are recruiting people 65 and older to learn about the brain function differences between those who take falls, and those who do not. We will compare degree of cognitive decline over 12 months between fallers and non-fallers through brain scans (fMRI). We hope to ease identification of older adults at risk for dementia so intervention can occur.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 65 and older
- Either have had falls in the last 12 months or have had no falls in the last 12 months
