The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of fall and its associated factors among elderly diabetes type 2 patients attending a tertiary center in Malaysia.We conducted a cross sectional study among 288 elderly diabetes type 2.The data collected includes data on socio-demographic, diabetes history, co-morbid diseases, drugs use and activity of daily living (Barthels index).The patient also was examined physically and balance and gait assessment was carried out.Prevalence of falls among elderly diabetes was 18.8 %.Female gender (OR: 2.54, p<0.05), age group more than 75 (OR: 2.97, p<0.05), retinopathy (OR: 2.19, p<0.05), orthostatic hypotension (OR: 2.87, p<0.05) were associated with higher risk for falls.High balance and gait score was associated with reduced risk of fall in elderly diabetes (OR: 0.89, p<0.05).The prevalence of falls in diabetic patients was not low compared with the prevalence of falls in broader populations in other Asian countries.
