Abstract
The study discusses the features of postural control of patients with senile and presenile osteoporosis. Age-related changes in the components and mechanisms of the postural control system are summarized. The main factors that are associated with osteoporosis and affect the postural balance, namely, reduced bone mineralization, postural deformities, pathological fractures, and sarcopenia, are discussed. The key problems of older patients with osteoporosis associated with a decrease in postural stability are considered. These problems are associated with an increased risk of falls and injuries, fear of falls, reduced functional mobility, and quality of life.
 On the analysis of literature sources, a hypothetical model of postural control and interaction between age-associated and osteoporosis-associated factors is proposed.
