Abstract: The current research assesses occurrence of self-reported waterfalls and related risk aspects between mature (54 years old) people in Pakistan. Information from the widely delegated cross-sectional Global Ageing and Adult Health Study (N = 3650) directed in Pakistan from 2018-2019 was reviewed. The key finding remained a self-reported waterfall, and experiences encompassed socioeconomic factors, self-reported co-diseases and driving aspects. Multivariate linear relapse models were applied. The common weighted common rate of self-described and analyzed falls was 5.3% (96% CI: 4.5-6.9). Predominance was greater among those with higher propelling age (11.3%), higher calibre of life (QoL) (6.5%), training (6.3%) and wealth (6.9%) than among their partners. Predominance was also higher among those with discouragement (18.6%), diabetes (14.5%), hypertension (10.2%) and stroke (9.5%) compared to those without these conditions, except for weight (.2%3). In last multivariate model, odds of self-described falls were: 5.15 times higher among those aged _7 years than among those aged 51 years to several years (96% CI: 8.29-8.51); 3.49 times higher between urban occupants than among rural occupants (96% CI: 1.26-5.93); 6.17, 3.97 and 2.98 times higher for these with morbidity (96% CI: 2.93-13.8), hypertension (96% CI: 2.61-6.58) and diabetes (96% CI: 2.08-34.6), as opposed to these without those situations. Keywords: age-related cataracts; blindness; disparities; danger aspects; SAGE; Pakistan; inferior middle income nations.
