Yes, it does. It is definitely more harder to walk. When you have extra weight it makes it harder for you to do any kind of activity so that means that your weight not only affects your balance but also affects how your brain works on your body functions. == However, your body mass also affects your center of gravity. If you are really skinny, then your center of gravity is higher, making it easier to fall over or to be knocked over. Being more skinny also puts less strain on your legs, compensating for the high center of gravity in most cases. If you are extremely overweight, then your center of gravity is lower, but more strain is put on your legs.

The cold affects the work of the cochlea. The cochlea (there is one in each inner ear), are organs in the Vestibular system that maintain balance, among other things. When you have a cold, the tissue in your throat, ears, nose, and sinuses can be irritated and inflamed, causing mild swelling (the stuffiness). The swelling can sometimes make it so your cochlea can't do their jobs right by blocking the proper flow of inner ear fluids and/or creating signals that the cochlea are not able to decipher, so you can feel off balance.

Things such as vertigo, affect balance, it has a lot to do with the fact that the fluids in the ears and pressure inside them, are what affect balance, that is why people with ruptured eardrums have a hard time balancing, also if you have toe problems, but that would just hurt more than make you unbalanced.

It is called the Vestibular System and is found in the inner ear. See the related question below for information on this part of the ear that helps us balance our bodies.
