Many people
think that falls are a normal part of aging.
The truth is they are not. Most
falls can be prevented and seniors can reduce risks by exercising, managing
medications, having vision checked and making living environment safer.
The Center
for Disease Control and Prevention says one in three seniors takes a tumble
each year causing moderate to severe injury.
The Nation
Council of Aging (NCOA) hammers home the message that most falls are
preventable by spelling out myths about falls.
