TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Hemispheric white matter lesions in the elderly prone to falling JO - Acta radiologica. Supplementum A1 - Masdeu, J. C. A1 - Lantos, G. A1 - Wolfson, L. SP - 392 EP - 392 VL - 369 IS - N2 - Brain computed tomography studies of two groups of elderly (mean age 83.3 years, SE 1.7) with no neurologic diagnoses were compared. Sixteen of the subjects were non-fallers and the remaining 17 had frequent unexplained falls. The group of fallers had a significantly greater degree of white-matter hypodensity of the elderly (Student's t-test = 2.7, p less than 0.01).
