While falls among older adults continue to be a national public health concern, most falls are preventable.
This Falls Prevention Awareness Week, Sept. 21-26, print, post or share these safety tips to help reduce fall-related injuries.
The leading cause of traumatic brain injury in older adults is a fall: 81% of TBI-related ER visits in this group (CDC). For Falls Prevention Awareness Week, strength, balance, vision checks and home safety all lower the risk. #UFBRAINCenter #FallsPrevention
Although 1 in 4 older adults experiences a fall each year, only half tell their doctor.
If you have experienced a fall, know that you are not alone. Check out these recommendations from the National Council on Aging to make the most of #FallsPrevention discussions with your healthcare provider.
Learn the leading causes of senior falls, how prescription medicines can raise risk, and which simple technologies help you stay safer at home.
