Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence of balance disorders and related factors in elderly patients at the National Geriatric Hospital. A cross-sectional study of 602 patients aged 60 years and older admitted to the Outpatient Department of the National Geriatric Hospital. Participants were interviewed based on a designed questionnaire. Balance function was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The results showed that the rate of balance disorder was 47.5% with an average BBS score of 43.0 ± 11.4 (point). Balance disorder is related to advanced age, gender (female), overweight or obesity or patients with diabetes and joint diseases with statistically significant p < 0.05. In summary, about 1 in 2 elderly study patients has a balance disorder. Early screening for the elderly, especially women, the obese or overweight, diabetic and joint disease patients is necessary to prevent balance disorder.
