INTRODUCTION: Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is responsible for impairment in balance and cognitive disorders that reflect on functional capacity and may increase the risk of falls in the elderly. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the association between quality of life, cognitive aspects, fear of falling, and risk of falling in elderly people with PD. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional study. Motor signs and symptoms of PD were assessed by the Movement Disorder Society — Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS part III). The Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39), the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) were also applied. The fear of falling was measured by the Falls Efficacy Scale - International (FES-I), and the risk of falling was assessed by the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Functional Reach Test (FRT), and Sit and Stand test (SS). Spearman's association was used for TUG, PDQ-39, MMSE, MoCA, and FES-I, while Pearson's association was used for FRT, SS, and other variables, with p<0.05. RESULTS: 29 participants were included (70.14 ±8.81 years). PDQ-39 showed a significant, inverse, and regular association with the FRT, while MMSE and MoCA showed a significant, inverse, and strong association with the TUG and SS tests. FES-I was associated with TUG and SS. CONCLUSION: Quality of life, cognitive aspects, and fear of falling were associated with the risk of falling in elderly people with PD.
