Elderly Falls Statistics
The CDC provides data on falls, and although some of their data is as old as from 2016, the statistics are still pretty scary.
Here’s some falls information you may not be aware of:
20% of falls cause severe injury such as fractures or head injuries.
Almost all hip fractures are caused by falling.
More than 25% of elderly people fall every year.
Falling once doubles the chance of falling again!
Kek, I wonder how high his chances are now…
