    Falls are an important public health problem, the mortality rate in older adults is 30%.

This work is hypothetical deductive, quantitative, descriptive correlational with a non-experimental design. The determining factors for the risk of falls are divided into two large groups: intrinsic, they are related to biological and psychosocial changes associated with aging; and extrinsic, which results from the interaction with the environment, such as the quality of the floor and the lighting at home, among others, and the risk of falls is an involuntary event that results in the loss of balance directed to the ground, leading to injuries that can deteriorate health or death in some cases, they are usually sudden, involuntary and unsuspected and can be reported by the patient or a witness, since they are the most frequent causes of loss of functionality in those over 60 years of age, and are also associated with a high degree of morbidity and mortality in society.
