Objective: establish the association between the level of functionality and the lower member force in community older adults. Materials and methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in an older adult community in Lima Peru. The population is made up of adults over 60 years. The outcome variables were the functionality and the exposure variables were the functional force in the lower limbs and as balance the balance and the appendicular lean mass for this purpose, 6 tests were applied. The first assesses the functionality of the elderly in general through the SF-36, which covers 8 dimensions such as physical functioning, physical role, body pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional role and mental health, the second evaluates functionality of lower limbs of the elderly. The third is the five-times sit to stand test, which evaluates the functional muscle strength of the lower limbs. For the measurement of confusing variables, we use: The maximum range test that measures the flexibility of lower limbs. Stand up and walk that measures dynamic balance, coordination and speed. Finally, the lower limb muscle mass was measured with the skeletal appendicular lean mass (MMAE) formula. Data collection was performed with 2 people and the sample was stratified in age and sex. Each participant was evaluated in a specific environment for assessments in the same senior community. Results: A statistically significant association was found between lower limb functionality and lower limb functional strength (β = -0.642, p = 0.003). Likewise, other variables that were associated with lower limb functionality are flexibility (p = 0.006) and falls (p = 0.001). Conclusions: In the present study, it was made in Lima Peru; In the district of Molina Centro Integral for the Elderly (CIAM) it was found that there is an association between the level of functionality of the lower limbs and the functional strength of the lower limbs in older adults. Likewise, the variables falls, and flexibility were also related to the level of functionality.
