contents This study investigates fall risk prediction in older adults using various machine learning models trained on accelerometric, non-accelerometric, and combined data from 146 participants. Models combining both data types achieved superior performance, with Bayesian Ridge Regression showing the highest accuracy (MSE = 0.6746, R2 = 0.9941). Non-accelerometric variables, such as age and comorbidities, proved critical for prediction. Results support the use of integrated data and Bayesian approaches to enhance fall risk assessment and inform prevention strategies.
