Background: Visual Selective Attention is the brain function that controls processing of retinal input based on prioritization of relevant and de-prioritization of irrelevant stimuli. Balance is the ability to maintain the body’s position in equilibrium. Age related decline is seen in both, Visual Selective Attention and Balance in geriatric population. This study is an attempt to establish a correlation between the two. Objective: To correlate Visual Selective Attention and Balance in geriatric population. Methodology: This was a cross sectional study. 60 subjects with age group 65-75 years were selected. Two tests were performed on them. Trail Making Test A and B was done to assess Visual Selective Attention and Timed Up and Go test (TUG) was done to assess Balance. Data was collected and statistically analysed using Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient. RESULTS: There was a positive correlation between TUG score and trail making scores of trail making test in geriatric population. (p<0.0001) Conclusion: There was a positive correlation between visual selective attention and balance in geriatric population
