Resumen
Objetivo: Estimar la prevalencia e identificar los factores asociados al equilibrio funcional en personas idas. Métodos: Trata-se de un estudio transversal realizado con 218 personas con edades iguales o superiores a 60 años, catastradas en dos Unidades de Salud de la Familia de un municipio del interior de Bahía. Foram utilizado inquérito biosociodemográfico e de condiciones de salud, Mini Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM), Escala de Fragilidade de Edmonton, Escalas de Funcionalidade (Índice de Barthel e Escala de Lawton), e medidas antropométricas. A associação entre as variáveis independentes e o risco de queda foram verificadas por meio de análises brutas e ajustadas usando a regressão de Poisson com ajuste robusto e expressos em razões de prevalência (RP) com os respectivos intervalos de confianza de 95% (IC95%). Resultados: O risco de queda foi prevalente em 68,3% da mostra e significativamente asociado con fragilidade (RP ajustada = 0,72; IC95%: 0,60-0,86; p < 0,001) fuerza muscular (RP = 0,97; IC95%: 0,96-0,98; p < 0,001) e circunferencia de cintura (RP) = 1,00; IC95%: 1,00-1,01; p < 0,03. Conclusión: La fragilidad, la fuerza muscular y la circunferencia de la cintura son factores independientes del riesgo de quedar en personas idas.
