    Risk of falls and cognitive deterioration in the elderly at the Casa Hogar de María geriatric center, San Borja, 2023
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-06-23) Valencia Vera, Victor Juan; Puma Chombo, Jorge Eloy
    Typical age-related changes include declines in physical performance and cognitive function, which can reduce autonomy in daily life. Moreover, individuals experiencing cognitive decline are at a higher risk of falling. The present study aims to explore the implications of cognitive decline in older adults and understand how these indicators are related to fall risks in this population. A methodology of applied, correlational, and cross-sectional design will be used, with the "Mini-Mental State" test to assess cognitive decline and the "Tinetti Scale" questionnaire to measure the fall risk of the population. The study will involve a population of 75 elderly individuals.
