Why fall prevention is important for healthy aging

According to the CDC, over 1 in 4 older Americans fall each year.

Whether it’s you or someone you know, everyone has been touched by the impact of a bad fall.

These events can be difficult to overcome, and often tragic. Beyond the immediate impact of falls, the experience of falling can lead to a decline in physical and mental health for individuals affected. In addition to presenting personal challenges, falls are also considered to be a major public health crisis in the U.S. Many older adults don’t report falls to their healthcare providers, so don’t receive the help they need to prevent future falls. In addition, the annual medical cost of falls is over $50 billion and this number is only increasing.
