Women are twice as likely to suffer a fracture during a fall than men of the same age according to this blog on the New York Times. However, death rates are higher among men are a third more than women of the same age. Over $30 billion has been spent a year in medical expenses, and much of the cost is burdened by the society because much of these expenses are paid from with public funds through medicaid, medicare, and other programs for these seniors and elderly. Such statistics are creating a fear of falling among the seniors and elderly folks. However, studies have shown that having such fear is actually increasing the risk of falling. According to the Centers for Disease Control, even some are not injured from falls, they have developed the fear of fall. Which in turn, limit the activities among these seniors and their physical fitness, and become more prone to falls. Another report also states that one in three people over 65 years old fall each year, and it is a leading cause of injury death among that demographic. So if you have loved seniors and elderly loved ones over the age of 65, have a discussion about this topic and possibly seek professional help to prevent falls from happening because it can happen anywhere at anytime.
