Method  a psychometric study. Convenience sample consisting of 170 older adults living in the Madeira Autonomous Region, Portugal. A two-part instrument was used (sociodemographic characterization and the Falls Efficacy Scale-International-Portugal). The starting point was the translation and transcultural adaptation already carried out for the Falls Efficacy Scale - International (16 items). Construct validity (factorial analysis and discriminant validity) and the reliability (Cronbach's \u03b1) of the 7-item scale were evaluated. Previous authorization was obtained from the Ethics Commission and from the people involved.  Results  in the exploratory factorial analysis, the International 7-item Falls Efficacy Scale presents an explained variance of 65.8%. The Spearman's correlation between the score obtained based on the 7 items and the score obtained based on the 16 items is significant and very strong (r=0.987, p&lt;0.0001). Internal consistency was 0.958.  Conclusion  the validity and reliability study of the International 7-item Falls Efficacy Scale revealed that it is an adequate scale for the evaluation of the fear of falling in the community-dwelling older adults.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1980-265x-tce-2019-0243","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,9]],"date-time":"2021-04-09T23:34:44Z","timestamp":1618011284000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["VALIDATION
