Resumo: Aging is a natural and progressive process marked by musculoskeletal, cognitive and perceptual changes that can lead the elderly to present episodes of falls. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the number of falls, the perception of the risk of falls and the fear of falling in the elderly, of both sexes, aged 60 years or over. The study has a cross-sectional design and was composed of 106 elderly people (69.64 ± 8.94 years). The perception of falls was assessed using the Falls Risk Awareness Questionnaire (FRAQ) and the fear of falling using the Falls Efficacy Scale - International (FES-I). It can be concluded that the smaller the number of drugs consumed, the number of falls and the fear of falling, the greater the perception of the risk of falls for the elderly. In addition, it was also possible to observe that the greater the consumption of medications, the greater the fear of falling for the elderly.

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la relación entre el número de caídas, la percepción del riesgo de caídas y el miedo a las caídas en los ancianos, de ambos sexos, de 60 años o más. El estudio tiene un diseño transversal y estuvo compuesto por 106 personas de edad avanzada (69,64 ± 8,94 años). La percepción de caídas se evaluó mediante el Cuestionario de conciencia de riesgo de caídas (FRAQ) y el miedo a caerse utilizando la Escala de eficacia de caídas - Internacional (FES-I). Se puede concluir que cuanto menor sea la cantidad de medicamentos consumidos, la cantidad de caídas y el miedo a las caídas, mayor será la percepción del riesgo de caídas para los ancianos. Además, también fue posible observar que cuanto mayor es el consumo de medicamentos, mayor es el miedo a enamorarse de los ancianos. O envelhecimento é um processo natural e progressivo marcado por alterações musculoesqueléticas, cognitivas e perceptuais que podem levar o idoso a apresentar episódios de quedas. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a relação entre o número de quedas, a percepção do risco de quedas, e o medo de cair em idosos, de ambos os sexos, com idade igual ou superior a 60 anos. O estudo possui delineamento transversal e foi composto por 106 idosos (69,64 ± 8,94 anos). A percepção de quedas foi avaliada por meio do Falls Risk Awareness Questionnaire (FRAQ), e o medo de cair pela Falls Efficacy Scale – International (FES-I). Pôde-se concluir que, quanto menor for o número de medicamentos consumidos, o número de quedas e o medo de cair, maior será a percepção do risco de quedas do idoso. Além disso, também foi possível observar que, quanto maior for o consumo de medicamentos, maior será o medo de cair do idoso.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2019-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/4888510.23925/2176-901X.2019v22i3p369-383Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 22 n. 3 (2019); 369-3832176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/48885/32132Copyright (c) 2020 Revista Kairós : Gerontologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Letícia Pophal daPeixoto, Ana Paula StadnikMartins, Ilce Cristine SilvaLiberato, Kely CristinaCamilo, RafaelaMoreira, Natália Boneti2020-08-04T19:16:01Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/48885Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2020-08-04T19:16:01Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
