Summary

The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of a standardized care plan to reduce the fear of falling in people over 65 years of age with fear of falling who live in the community.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is it possible to reduce the fear of falling in patients over 65 years of age through an educational intervention in primary care?
* Is it possible to reduce falls in patients older than 65 years through an educational intervention in primary care?

Half of the participants will receive an educational intervention consisting of 6 two-hour sessions at the Health Center. The comparison group will follow the usual clinical practice recommended by the Primary Care Assistance Management of the Community of Madrid. It is intended to observe if there are differences in the fear of falling and falls in both groups.
