6 age-related changes that INCREASE
senior fall risk
&
6 ways to REDUCE
senior fall risk
The gradual physical changes of aging add up to increased fall risk for older adults.
In fact, the CDC says that people aged 65+ have a greater than 25% chance of falling.
And if someone falls once, their chance of falling again doubles, meaning there’s over 50% chance of a second fall.
This is serious because falls are a leading cause of lost independence and ability.
Seniors often aren’t able to recover fully from the trauma, their overall health declines, and their care needs increase significantly.
