Background: All over the world, falls are considered as a major marker of injuries, immobility, loss of balance and different health impairments in older adults. One third of community-dwelling older are experience at least once a year. With increasing age, decreased range of motion of lower limb joints, impaired functional performance, impaired balance, increased pain intensity, altered dual tasking, and poor quality of life may predict the risk for falls in older adults. There is a lack in the studies that providing the causes and the factors that is associated with risk of falls especially for older adults. Therefore, this study aimed to identify which of the aforementioned variables and demographic factors are associated with falls in older adults of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).Subjects & Methods: This cross-sectional study included 100 (50 women) community dwelling older adults (age: 75 ± 3.6 years). Participant demographic characteristics (sex, age, body mass index, limb dominance, exercise status, etc.) were documented. The independent variables included the outcomes of demographic characteristics, active range of motion of the hip, knee, and ankle, single-leg stance, five times sit-to-stand, timed up and go test, dynamic gait index, pain, and World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment-Bref questionnaire. The dependent variable was the risk of falls (self-reported presence or absence of falls) in the past 12 months. Results: Out of 100 older adults, 42 reported a fall and among them 26 were women. 39 who experienced a fall were Emiratis. 32 who reported falls were overweight or obese. Most of the participants who reported falls were non-smokers (28/42). 23 with a history of falls had diabetes. Three (3/6) who had the left lower limb as the dominant side had falls. Thirty-four adults (34/56) who were not doing exercises had falls. Twenty older adults (20/23) who were using an assistive device had falls. Many of the independent variables were significantly associated w
