According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year one in every three “older adults” (65 years and older) falls. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Falls Among Older Adults: An Overview, available at http://1.usa.gov/19A97Zb. According to the CDC's report, in 2010, approximately 21,000 older adults died from unintentional fall injuries. The most common fall-related injuries were fractures of the spine, hip, forearm, leg, ankle, pelvis, upper arm, and hand.
Among older adults who sustain a hip fracture, studies show that nearly 50% never regain their previous level of functioning, while 30% die within six months. John Jorgensen, MPA, RN, Reducing Patient Falls: A Call to Action, Best Practices for Falls Reduction: A Practical Guide, Mar. 2011, p. 2.
In addition to the recovery and mortality problems falls create for older adults, these events carry significant costs. When adjusted for 2010 inflation, “falls among 'older adults' cost the U.S. health care system $30 billion in direct medical costs.” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Costs of Falls Among Older Adults, available at http://1.usa.gov/19huwbH.
