Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar lansia (83,7%) berisiko jatuh rendah dan sebagian besar responden (70,2%) masuk golongan lansia mandiri. Terdapat hubungan bermakna antara tingkat keseimbangan tubuh terhadap activity of daily living dengan nilai p<0,001 dan koefisien korelasi (r=0,565). Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara tingkat keseimbangan tubuh terhadap activity of daily living (ADL) pada lansia di Kecamatan Turi.
