The research conducted between 2012 and 2013. Their PHYSICAL ACTIVITY was measured using standard questionnaire of the PHYSICAL ACTIVITY of PASE (the PHYSICAL ACTIVITY scale for THE ELDERLY), their balance control by Berg Balance test. Then, the data were analyzed through the Chi-square and t test using SPSS.
