The sample ion was performed via the availability method cardiovascular, internal, and nephrology clinics. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Persian version of the Falls Efficacy Scale-International. Results: The study population comprised 301 patients: 45.2% men and 54.8% women at an average age of 68.62 (±6.82) years. The majority of the patients had low levels of FOF. Also, there was a significant relationship between FOF and gender, occupational status, the income level, the education level, having living companions, living in a hazardous environment, and taking antihypertensives (P˂0.05).
