Background: Low bone mineral density (BMD) and falls are common problems encountered in the postmenopausal women. The purpose was to evaluate the association between postural balance and BMD in postmenopausal women and its relation to risk for falls.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 225 women in amenorrhea > 12 months and age >= 45 years were included and divided, according to BMD, in T-score values > -2.0 SD (n = 140) and
