    To investigate the factors associated with Locomotor Syndrome (LS) in elderly people in the community of Belém-PA. This is an observational, cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study, carried out in Belém do Pará - Brazil, at the Municipal Health Unit (UMS) in Marambaia. Data collection took place from August to October 2022, applying a research protocol with sociodemographic and clinical exposure variables, application of the lower limb function test, Romberg balance test and the Geriatric Locomotor Function Scale of 25 Items. 64 elderly people were studied, and 21.78% of the participants had LS, with a predominance of females. LS was associated with balance alteration, with a 16 times greater risk of LS observation in elderly people with static imbalance. The present study found a higher prevalence of LS in females and noted that the change in balance in the elderly showedan important relationship with the locomotor dysfunction studied.
