Falls Are a Leading Cause of Bone Breaks and Brain Injuries for U.S. Seniors |
"The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports over 14 million older adults experience a fall annually, according to Washington Post. In fact, it is the leading cause of injury among U.S. adults age 65 and older, with 37 percent sustaining an injury that requires activity restrictions or medical treatment. According to the CDC, 95 percent of hip fractures result from a fall, and falls are the most common cause of brain injuries."
