One in three community-based seniors will sustain at least one fall per year and that 50% of these individuals will suffer significant injury. Injuries pose a significant burden in terms of loss of life, reduced quality of life, and economic cost. Other suffering includes disability, loss of confidence in physical and functional abilities, fear of falling, increased social isolation, and increased dependency on caregivers, loss of mobility, and long-term institutionalization. >>Journal of American Geriatrics Society
Falls are common occurrences in elderly people worldwide and have several adverse consequences, such as physical injuries, psychological distress, decreased functioning and diminished quality of life. >>Journal of the American Geriatrics Society
Falls and mobility problems are common and serious problems facing older adults. Falls account for two-thirds of accidental deaths in older adults. Falls are generally the result of multiple etiologies: gait and balance disorders, functional impairment, visual deficits, cognitive impairment and the use of psychotropic medications are the most important risk factors for falling. >>Journal of the American Geriatrics Society
Fear of falling is a common problem with serious outcomes in older adults, especially women, such as reductions in levels of physical activity, reduced ability to perform activities of daily living, and future falling episodes. >>Journal of the American Geriatrics Society
Hip fractures are a major threat to the health and well-being of older adults. An estimated one in three adults 65 and older experience a fall each year. >> National Safety Council, 2005 White House Conference on Aging.
One in two woman and one in four men over 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime. >> National Institutes of Health
There is no such thing as a mild head injury. It's a misnomer. >> Vani Rao, MD, Director, Brain Injury Program, and Neuropsychiatrist
