The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of falls and its associated factors among elderly diabetes type 2 patients attending a tertiary center in Malaysia.
We conducted a cross-sectional study among 288 elderly diabetes type 2.
The data collected includes data on sociodemographic, diabetes history, comorbid diseases, drug use, and activity of daily living (Barthel’s index).
The patient also was examined physically, and balance and gait assessment was carried out.
Prevalence of falls among elderly diabetes was 18.8%.
Female gender (OR: 2.54, P<0.05), age group more than 75 (OR: 2.97, P<0.05), retinopathy (OR: 2.19, P<0.05), and orthostatic hypotension (OR: 2.87, P<0.05) were associated with higher risk for falls.
High balance and gait score was associated with reduced risk of fall in elderly diabetes (OR: 0.89, P<0.05).
In conclusion, the factors that are associated with higher risk for falls among elderly diabetes were female sex, age group more than 75, presence of retinopathy, and orthostatic hypotension.
Those who had higher balance and gait score were found to be less likely to fall compared with those with lower score.
