Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the association between geriatric syndromes and falls in the elderly with osteoporosis. A cross-sectional study included of 140 elderly with osteoporosis aged 60 and over treated at the National Geriatric Hospital. Results showed that the average age of subjects was 73.2 ± 9.0 years old, the prevalence of falls in elderly people with osteoporosis was 34.3%, the rate of fractures due to falls was 87.5%. There was a statistically significant relationship between the frailty syndrome and the fall (p = 0.038). There was no relationship between sarcopenia, daily functional activities and falls in elderly people with osteoporosis (p > 0.05). Frailty syndrome is associated with falls in elderly patients with osteoporosis. Therefore, it is necessary to screen for frailty syndrome in elderly osteoporosis patients and design interventions to reduce the rate of falls.
