Often this fear keeps older adults from everyday activities such as visiting with friends, shopping or going for a walk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the fear is real, it can lead to a reduction in activity that affects your health. The good news is you can ease this fear and remain both physically and socially active by practicing a few fall prevention guidelines. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>First, understand the facts related to seniors falling<\/h3>\n<p>According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), millions of people ages 65 and older fall each year, making falls the leading cause of injury in this age group. More than one out of four older people falls each year, but less than half tell their doctor. And falling once doubles your chances of falling again.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most serious fall injuries is a broken hip. Each year over 300,000 older people\u2014those 65 and older\u2014are hospitalized for hip fractures. It is difficult to recover from a hip fracture, and after such an injury, many people are not able to live on their own.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Know the risk factors for falling<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most falls are caused by a combination of risk factors, and the more risk factors a person has, the greater their chances of falling. According to the CDC, these risk factors include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower body weakness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin D deficiency (that is, not enough vitamin D in your system)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulties with walking and balance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use of medicines, such as tranquilizers, sedatives or antidepressants. Even some over-the-counter medicines can affect balance and how steady you are on your feet.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vision problems<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foot pain or poor footwear<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home hazards or dangers\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not getting enough sleep<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Seven things seniors can do to prevent falls<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Falls are not a normal part of aging. You can avoid the risk of a fall by taking steps to stay safe and independent longer. Many of the risk factors can be changed or modified to help prevent falls. Learn what you can do to reduce your chances of falling:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span>1. Take home safety precautions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Remove things you can trip over that are on the floor or steps.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Secure small throw rugs in place with double-sided taper non-slip backing .<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Keep frequently used items in cabinets you can reach without using a step stool.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Install grab bars in the bathroom, by the toilet and in the tub.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Place a non-slip mat or anti-slip strips on the shower floor and in the bathtub.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Use bright bulbs in lamps, consider curtains and drapes that reduce glare, and make sure staircases are well lit.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Install handrails.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Wear comfortable shoes with good support, whether you\u2019re in your home or outside.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Talk with your doctor.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask your doctor to evaluate your risk for falling and discuss specific things you can do.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask your doctor to review your prescription and over-the-counter medicines to see if any might make you dizzy or sleepy.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask your doctor whether taking vitamin D supplements would be right for you.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li>Do strength and balance exercises.<br \/>\nAsk your doctor to recommend helpful exercises that make your legs stronger and improve your balance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Have your eyes examined.<br \/>\nHave your eyes checked by an eye doctor at least once a year, and update your eyeglasses if needed. If you have bifocal or progressive lenses, you may want to get a pair of glasses with only your distance prescription for outdoor activities, such as walking.\u00a0 Consider assistive devices.<\/p>\n<p>Canes, walkers, wheelchairs and scooters can increase stability and prevent unexpected falls from occurring.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Use an in-home care service.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A home care agency that specializes in services for seniors can provide a professional caregiver that will come to your home and help with daily activities. Having a helping hand is sometimes all that&#8217;s needed to prevent a serious fall.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li>Choose sensible shoes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mayo Clinic recommends you consider changing your footwear as part of your fall-prevention plan. High heels, floppy slippers and shoes with slick soles can make you slip, stumble and fall. So can walking in your stocking feet. Instead, wear properly fitting, sturdy shoes with nonskid soles. Sensible shoes may also reduce joint pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sub\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduce your fear of falling<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we age, the fear of falling becomes top of mind.
