    Objective: To determine the relationship between functional capacity and the risk of falls in elderly patients treated at the Geronto Geriatric Residential Care Center Ignacia Rodulfo Viuda de Canevaro in the district of Rímac, 2018. Method: The study approach was quantitative, correlational, with a population and sample of 100 elderly adults. The data collection technique was based on the application of questionnaire-type instruments, such as the Barthel Index created by Mahoney and Barthel, and the fall risk scale created by J.H Downton. Results: There is a relationship between functional capacity and the risk of falls in elderly patients. The Chi-square test (value = 0.002) was used, and the results showed that 63% (63) had mild dependence, 21% (21) had moderate dependence regarding basic daily living activities. Of the former, 50.7% (35), and of the latter, 27.5% (19) showed a high risk of falls. The most affected dimension was that which required minimal physical help to move, with 50%, followed by walking and climbing stairs with 53% and 55%, respectively.
