Central to this discussion is the exploration of various physiological changes that occur with aging, such as alterations in the vestibular, visual, proprioceptive systems, and musculoskeletal degeneration. We examine the role of neurological disorders, cognitive decline, and medication side effects in exacerbating balance issues. The review underscores the significance of early detection and effective intervention strategies in mitigating the risks associated with balance problems, such as falls and reduced mobility. It discusses the effectiveness of diverse intervention strategies, including exercise programs, rehabilitation techniques, and technological advancements like virtual reality, wearable devices, and telemedicine. Additionally, the review stresses the importance of a holistic approach in managing balance disorders, encompassing medication review, addressing comorbidities, and environmental modifications. The paper also presents future research directions, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of the complex mechanisms underlying balance changes with aging and the potential of emerging technologies and interdisciplinary approaches in enhancing assessment and intervention methods. This comprehensive review aims to provide valuable insights for healthcare providers, researchers, and policymakers in developing targeted strategies to improve the quality of life and ensure the well-being of the aging population.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":4.9344739331306915,"endowment":4.9344739331306915,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"38607735","pmcid":"PMC11964428","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4393036968","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":115.0407,"citation_percentile":0.99984476,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2024,"count":6},{"year":2025,"count":61},{"year":2026,"count":71}],"oa_status":"gold","license":"cc-by","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://www.aginganddisease.org/EN/PDF/10.14336/AD.2024.0124-1","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://www.aginganddisease.org/EN/PDF/10.14336/AD.2024.0124-1","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.14336/ad.2024.0124-1","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38607735","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/11964428","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11964428/pdf/ad-16-2-714.pdf","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC11964428","host_type":"Europe_PMC"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC11964428?pdf=render","host_type":"Europe_PMC"}],"fields_of_study":["Balance, Gait, and Falls Prevention","Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery","Vestibular and auditory disorders","Humans","Postural Balance","Aging","Accidental Falls","Aged"],"mesh_terms":["Accidental Falls","Aged","Aging","Postural Balance","Exercise Therapy","Humans","Quality of Life","Sensation Disorders"],"keywords":["Balance (ability)","Intervention (counseling)","Psychological intervention","Medicine","Population","Wearable computer","Quality of life (healthcare)","Rehabilitation","Health care","Population ageing","Wearable technology","Risk analysis (engineering)","Physical medicine and rehabilitation","Physical therapy","Psychiatry","Computer science","Nursing","Environmental health"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Gender equality"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-07T01:04:27.073813Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
