- Abstract
Objective: To estimate the prevalence, incidence and factors associated with falls among elderly people attended at a teaching clinic. Method: The study was divided into two components, the cross-sectional follow-up from August 2016 to November 2018 (n=129), and the cohort from August 2018 to November 2018 (n=66). Statistical analyzes were carried out, based on Multiple Poisson Regression, between the outcome and sociodemographic and health characteristics. Results: The prevalence and incidence of falls were 44.2% and 36.4%, respectively. In Poisson's multiple regression analysis of the cross-sectional study, the variables dyspeptic symptoms, low values in the Time Up and Go test and having hypertension were associated with the variable fall. In the cohort study, the analysis reinforced the association between not being an ex-alcoholic and having constipation. Conclusion: The prevalence and incidence of falls among the elderly evaluated is considered high, and the need to identify groups more susceptible to this outcome is emphasized.
