Fear of falling was assessed by the Brazilian version of Falls Efficacy Scale\u2010International. The following variables were assessed: history of falls, fracture after fall, number of comorbidities, number of medications, hospitalization in the previous year, use of walking support device, functional dependency in activities of daily living (including instrumental activities), hearing and visual impairments, hand grip strength, walking speed, self\u2010rated health, depressive symptoms, cognitive impairment, living alone, social support, and activity level. Associations were evaluated by multiple logistic regression.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Among the 742 participants, 51.9% had a fear of falling, which was more prevalent in women and older participants. Fear of falling was associated with a history of one to two falls (odds ratio [\n OR<\/jats:styled-content>\n ] 2.18; 95% confidence interval [\n CI<\/jats:styled-content>\n ] 1.42\u20133.36), three
