Objective: Assess the status of balance disorders in elderly people with stable stage COPD. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study of 363 elderly patients with GOLD 2017 COPD, patients evaluated for Berg Balance Scale (BBS), TUG (timed up and go), ABC (Activities - specific Balance), 21 Iltem - Fall, Hendich - Fall II, Staitify. Results: Mean age 71.7 ± 8.52, male/female ratio: 4.59, Disease incidence: 8.22 ± 5.35 years, score on 21 Iltems-fall: 8.74 ± 4.46, Straitafy: 1.66 ± 1.3, ABC: 27.42 ± 12.67, Hendrich - fall II: 2.47 ± 1.75, TUG: 13.1 ± 6.55 sec, BBS: 44.95 ± 12.39. The incidence of falls according to the BBS score: 33.3%, TUG:  75.8%, ABC: 48.2%, Stratify: 80.2%, 21 Iltems - Fall : 44.6%,  Hendrich-Fall II: 20.1%.
