Item Physical performance, functionality and risk of falls in older adults hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital in Southwestern Colombia: PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE, FUNCTIONALITY AND RISK OF FALLS(Elsevier Inc., 2025-06) Estela Zape, Jose Luis; Escobar, Angelica María Pereira; López, Wilmer Arley Criollo; Ortiz, Diana Constanza González; Carrillo, Mauricio Hernández; Navarro, Saul Diaz; Payán Salcedo, Harold AndrésAim Determine physical performance, functionality and their relationship with the risk of falls in older adult patients hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital in southwestern Colombia. Methods This cross-sectional observational study with an analytical component involved 51 patients. Univariate analysis used frequencies and percentages for categorical variables. Comparative bivariate analysis by risk of falling included the probability value. The association between functionality, physical performance and risk of falling was examined using a logistic regression model. Results The average age was 67 years (SD: 6.0), 51 % were men, 72 % had primary school education and 96 % consumed some antipsychotic medication. According to the results of the logistic model, mild-moderate dependence (OR=5.56, 95 % CI 1.24-27.00) and low physical performance are the two factors that most influence the risk of drop. Conclusion Low physical performance and mild to moderate dependence in daily activities increase the risk of falls in hospitalized older adults with mental disorders.
