    Introduction: The interaction of the elderly with their environment can be affected by the different changes associated with aging, limiting their performance of basic and instrumental daily activities. Objective: To determine the relationship between frailty and fall risk in older adults in physical therapy centers in the district of Surquillo, 2023. Materials and Methods: 85 older adults who attended physical therapy centers in the district of Surquillo participated and were evaluated using the Downton Scale and Frail Scale. The method is hypothetical-deductive, with a quantitative approach and descriptive-correlational type. Results: The findings indicate that there is a direct and significant relationship between frailty and fall risk among older adults in the physical therapy centers of Surquillo, 2023. This finding was obtained using the Kendall Tau correlation test (as the variables are on an ordinal scale), with a p-value <0.05 and τ = 0.589. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a direct and significant relationship between fall risk and the frailty dimension of older adults in the physical therapy centers in Surquillo, 2023.
