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 (e.g., 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.
