Accidents and specifically falls in older adults are a problem that is increasing in the world. In Cuba, in Villa Clara, it constitutes the sixth cause of death in this population group, and Remedios is one of the oldest municipalities in the country, which is why this descriptive, retrospective longitudinal study was carried out on older adults in an urban area. , with the objective of determining the risk factors, occurrence and consequences of their falls in the period from January 15, 2022 to May 1, 2023. We worked with all the older adults in a Medical Office (315), predominating the age group of 60-69 years and the female sex. High blood pressure and osteomyoarticular diseases were determined as the most frequent chronic conditions; polypharmacy, degenerative arthropathies and psychological disorders as the main consequence in the male sex, within the intrinsic factors, and within the extrinsic factors: the bathroom with a sliding floor, and the lack of a lamp or switch within reach, where the female gender stood out significantly.
