It's National Falls Prevention Awareness Day!
Why is that important?? Take a look at some of these stats from the CDC.π€
πOne out of five falls causes a serious injury such as broken bones or a head injury,
πEach year, 3 million older people are treated in emergency departments for fall injuries.
πOver 800,000 patients a year are hospitalized because of a fall injury, most often because of a head injury or hip fracture.
πEach year at least 300,000 older people are hospitalized for hip fractures.
πMore than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falling,8 usually by falling sideways.
πFalls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
πIn 2015, the total medical costs for falls totaled more than $50 billion. Medicare and Medicaid shouldered 75% of these costs.
What can you do to prevent yourself or loved ones from experiencing a fall?
