Abstract

The study was conducted to assess the risk of postural balance disorders among people older than 65 years with various diseases by analyzing stabilometric indicators. Among people older than 65 years the risk of falls into the position in the the side and back (r = 0,89, r = 0,96, respectively) during self-ver- ticalization was identified. At the age of 85 years and older the length and speed of displacement of the center of pressure (p <0.01) is significantly increased, which corresponds to the high frequency of falls 61.36% (95% CI 10,5-21,8, p <0.001). Among men, deviations of length, speed and area of the center of pressure are greater than that of women (p <0.001). A significant influence on stabilometric indicators was revealed in obesity, COPd, coronary heart disease, postmenopausal osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and a history of stroke. At the same time comorbid conditions, sleep disorders, lone accommodation had no significant impact on stabilograms.
