Falls are a leading cause of fractures and disability in older adults, severely impacting quality of life. Prevention is crucial to maintaining independence and health. Key points: 1. Keep living areas well-lit and free of obstacles. 2. Install grab bars and handrails in bathrooms and staircases. 3. Maintain regular physical activity to improve strength and balance. 4. Review medications with your doctor to reduce dizziness risks. 5. Schedule regular vision and health check-ups to address fall risk factors.
