Objective: to evaluate the functional capacity and the risk of falls in elderly people. Methods: cross-sectional study with 122 elderly subjects. Data collection was done through an interview with aid of the instruments Fall Risck Score and Functional Independence Measure. The Pearson’s Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were used to analyze the data for association of variables. Results: a total of 72.1% of elderly had already suffered a fall and 96.7% had a Functional Independence Measure greater than 104, being functionally independent. Conclusion: the elderly presented complete independence in most of the items related to daily life activities; however, they are at risk of falls related to other factors, such as possible prev...
