“…In the biological field, these changes are related to the progressive physiological decline, which affects the major systems and organs of the senses (4) . Moreover, during aging there is decreased muscle strength, flexibility and balance (8) . These physiological changes, along with non-communicable diseases have been identified as the main cause of functional disabilities (9) , whose prevalence has been shown to be high among the elderly.…”
