 The purpose of this study was to elucidate the causal relationship between fear of falling and the ability of the elderly to sit on the floor at home through a two-year longitudinal study. The subjects were 33 frail elderly living at home (16 males and 17 females) who regularly used day-care facilities. Interviews and physical measurements were conducted. Interviews investigated the Falls Efficacy Scale Japanese edition (FES). Regarding physical measurements, the Timed“Up and Go”Test (TUG) was used to assess functional mobility. The elapsed time subjects took to 1)stand up from prolonged sitting on the floor, and 2)sit down for a prolonged period on the floor from a standing position was used to assess ability to sit on the floor. TUG, ability to sit on the floor and FES were compared by cross-lagged and synchronous effect models in the structural equation model. The time subjects took to sit on the floor correlated with the subjects' fear of falling. The results indicate an increased ability sit on the floor reduces the fear of falling in frail elderly.
