    The general objective of this research is to determine the relationship between functional capacity and fall risk in elderly individuals at the Santa María de la Caridad nursing home. The population consisted of 60 elderly adults who formed the sample. For the evaluation of functional capacity, the SHORT PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE BATTERY (SPPB) was used, and for fall risk, the TINETTI scale was applied. Among the results, it was found that 35% of those with intermediate functional capacity performance are at risk of falling, 12% with intermediate functional capacity have a lower fall risk, and 7% with intermediate functional capacity have a high fall risk.
