Brief summary

To assess the correlation between aspects of the dyspnea scale (indicating poor functionality), the fall efficacy scale (indicating a higher fear of falling), and all aspects of the SF36 (indicating quality of life) in 3 age groups: adolescents, youth, and geriatrics.

Detailed description

An observational study was done to assess the correlation between aspects of the dyspnea scale (indicating poor functionality), the fall efficacy scale (indicating a higher fear of falling), and all aspects of the SF36 (indicating quality of life) in 3 age groups: adolescents, youth, and geriatrics.
