Common Causes of Elderly Falls

Injuries from falls are the leading cause of death for senior citizens in the United States. As doctor Alicia Arbaje reports in this video, one out of three older adults falls each year, and one out of two Americans over age 75 fall. Falls usually result from chronic health issues or environmental factors, or are the side effects of prescription medications. The best way to prevent falls is to make home travel easier by investing in stair lifts, chair lifts and glides, and threshold ramps.
