Fall risks can be attributed to many issues. Some of the most common causes of falls are vestibular issues, poor eyesight, weak muscles, and even medications. With a little education, you can substantially reduce your risk of a fall. As our country ages, the percentage of older people experiencing falls is increasing. Unfortunately, death rates from fall injuries have too — substantially. From 2007 to 2016, the Centers for Disease Control provided data that indicated deaths from falls for adults over the age of 65 increased 30%. They estimate that by 2030, just nine years away, there may be seven fall-related deaths every hour. Throughout our lives, taking an accidental spill has and will continue to occur. When we were babies learning to walk, falls were routine. Often, a fall would rarely cause serious injury. Unfortunately, as we age a fall can have disastrous consequences. Almost 30% of falls in people over 65 result in moderate to serious injuries that can diminish quality of life and increase the risk of premature death.
