Falls, prevention

Feature: Falls, prevention
It is estimated that about 30 out of every 100 men and women over the age of 65 will have a fall in any one year. The rate is even higher in people who live in nursing homes or residential care. Most of the falls do not have any serious consequences, but sometimes there is an injury that needs medical attention. Only about 1 in 10 falls causes a broken bone. Although falls cannot always be avoided, there are things that can be done to reduce the risk.
