Tips to Avoid Falls and Bone Fractures for Seniors

Osteoporosis is a silent condition because there aren’t many signs that point toward having the disease.  Unfortunately, the typical first sign of osteoporosis is a broken bone.  Common places for bone fractures include the wrist, the spine, as well as the hip, so a broken bone can truly hinder a person’s daily routines.  Therefore, finding ways to prevent slips, tumbles, and falls can greatly reduce your chance of falling and breaking your bones. Contrary to popular beliefs, exercise is actually beneficial for people with osteoporosis because it improve strength, flexibility and balance to help prevent against falls.  Another way to keep seniors alert is by talking to your doctor about medications that causes drowsiness and see if there are alternative options that do not have such side effects. Finally, keep your home clutter free and add safety devices such as grab bars and rubber mats in the bath to ensure the minimum risk of accidents around the home.

Colon cancer isn’t among the most discussed form of cancer, but it is one of the of the deadliest form of cancer around.  According to the American Cancer Society, there are different type of surgeries to treat colon cancer.  First, a open colectomy is where the doctor removes part of the colon and nearby lymph nodes.  Typically, open colectomy is done through an incision in the abdomen.  Depending on the size of the cancer, it will determine how much of the colon is removed.  Another type is called the Laparoscopic-assisted colectomy.  A more recent approach, it removes part of the colon along with nearby lymph nodes with a few smaller incisions and uses a small camera called the laparoscope to see inside the abdomen.  Lastly, if the cancer is in an early enough stage, a colonoscope can remove the polyps and no incision is necessary on the abdomen.

Care at Home for Seniors & Elderly in Sierra Madre

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.
