| The personal and sociodemographic characteristics of the elderly were evaluated by means of absolute and relative frequency, separated by group. The majority of GFA elderly were female (91.7%), age between 60 and 65 years (33.4%), normal weight (40%), married or widowed (41.7%), low level (58.3%), who took up to 4 medications (81.7%), which fell in the last year (60%), retired or pensioner (68.3%), low economic class (58.3%) %) and with a negative health perception (85%). In CG, the majority of the elderly were female (61.7%), aged between 60 and 65 years (31.6%), overweight (40%), married (66.7%), (58.3%), retired or pensioner (58.4%), low economic class (50%), who took up to 4 medications (91.6%), which fell in the last year (75%) and with a perception of positive health (88.3%). | — |

|---|---|
| The data on the perception of risk of falls among the elderly and the indicators show that the mean perception of the risk of success among non-users (n = 81) was 22.41 ± 2.11 points, (n = 39) was 18.28 ± 2.49 points, leading to the difference between the variables (p> 0.05). The participants of the study were 32.5% who had an experience of the previous year over the course of 12 months, most of which were left (79.5%) and had as a consequence (89%) . 7%). Data analysis showed a direct relationship between the probability of risks with sex (r = 0.215, p = 0.009), age (r = -0.357, p = 0.044), episodes of falls (r = -0.407) . , p> 0.001) and the number of falls (r = -0.433, p> 0.001) In the analysis of the intragroup data it was possible to observe that the GFA with the average advance in all the useful testicles (p> 0.001), was no longer of the GC without worsening (49.30 vs. 47.52, p> 0.001) (14.53 vs. 13.28, p = 0.049) and increased pain (6.63 vs. 7.93, p = 0.001). In the intergroup comparison, it was possible to observe what GFA presents in relation to a better performance (50.17 vs. 47.52). , 95 vs. 10,25), with higher parity of votes (-6.60 vs. -6.53) and pain (5.75 vs. 7.93) when compared to CG. | — |
