Resumo: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of falls in institutionalized elderly people as well as to describe fall risk factors in this population. The information was obtained from reviewing medical records, conducting interviews and the tests Timed Up and Go, the Short Performance Physical Battery, the Mini Mental State Examination, the Functional Independence Measure and the Geriatric Depression Scale 15. The frequency of falls was at 22.2% and it was found that the risk factors are frequent in this cohort, thus evidencing a major risk for future falls.

As informações foram obtidas por meio de análise de prontuários, de entrevistas e pelos testes Timed Up and Go, Short Physical Performance Battery, Mini-exame do Estado Mental, Medida de Independência Funcional e Escala de Depressão Geriátrica-15. A frequência de quedas foi de 22,2% e verificou-se que os fatores de risco são frequentes nessa população, mostrando, assim, um risco importante para quedas futuras.
