OLDER PEOPLE AT RISK FROM FALLS
Around 90% of older people know they
are at risk from falls but less than
half take any specific measures to
prevent it.
This is the finding of new research
from Help the Aged.
Falling is the most common cause of
accidental death !mong older people,
with one person dying every five hours
in the UK after falling at home.
It causes around 36,000 serious
injuries each year at a cost of £981m
to the Government.
