Abstract
Aging or also called the normal process of changes that are related to the passage of time starts from when we are born and continues throughout life, and old age is the final phase of life. It is a gradual and adaptive process of a biological, psychological and social type, produced as a consequence of genetically programmed changes, history, lifestyles, environment and social conditions in which the elderly live. On the other hand, old age is a stage of life whose beginning is established by society, which is why the United Nations Organization agreed that, in developing countries, people aged 60 and over are classified as older adults. Within the present work, it is intended to obtain a diagnosis on the prevalence of falls in which the current situation of patients in a permanent geriatric stay located in Irapuato, Guanajuato is shown. This is considered important because during aging structural and functional changes occur in different organs and systems. For this reason, as health professionals, we must know the normal morphological and functional changes of physiological aging, and thus guide the elderly to adapt and improve their lifestyle.
