The elderly experience various physical and physiological changes so that they are more susceptible to falling. The most common risk factor for falls in the elderly is balance disorders, where changes in body mass index (BMI) can trigger a person to fail to support his body at the right time so he is at risk of falling. This study aims to determine the relationship between nutritional status and the risk of falling in the elderly at the Rumoh Seujahtera Geunaseh Sayang Nursing Home, Banda Aceh.

The results of the study found that the majority of respondents with abnormal nutritional status totaled 22 respondents (57.9%), that is underweight (21,1%), overweight (15,7%), dan obese (21,1%), also at mild risk of falling were 20 respondents (52.6%), moderate risk 9 respondents (23.7%), and severe risk 8 respondents (21.1%) The results of data analysis using the Spearman Rank correlation test obtained p value of 0.627, which means that there is no relationship between nutritional status and the risk of falling in the elderly at the Rumoh Seujahtera Geunaseh Sayang Nursing Home.
