- Abstract
The fear of falling in the elderly is a relevant issue and in turn complex to discuss, so it is necessary to define it and review its related factors clearly. The importance that this term has for the elderly and people around them highlights that it is not only fear of falling after having fallen, but even before it happens or long after the first event; it is relevant to review the consequences of the same fall, such as isolation, fragility, loss of independence and fear of carrying out their daily activities. The concept of fear of falling has gained relevance, so the objective of this article is to define the fear of falling in older adults and review the factors related to it.
