dc.descriptionBackground: A decrease in functional capacity due to ageing is one of the main risk factors for falls in older people. Aim: To investigate factors associated with falls in Chilean older adults. Material and methods: We analyzed the self-reports of falls of 1,334 people aged ?60 years who answered the National Health Survey 2009-2010. Falls during the last 12 months were recorded.
