Limitations in functional capacities also increase the risk of falls. Most falls take place during the performance of simple activities. The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with moderate-to-high risk of future falls in patients scheduled for vascular surgeries.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This cross-sectional study included patients aged 33\u201387, scheduled for vascular surgeries. Based on the Timed Up and Go test, patients were categorized as having a moderate-to-high (\u2265 10\u2009s) or low risk of falls.

The Barthel Index correlated negatively (OR\u2009=\u20090.69; Cl95%: 0.59\u20130.80), while age correlated positively with fall-risk levels (OR\u2009=\u20091.07; Cl95%:
