Life expectancy after fall in elderly
Every year, one-third of older people who live at home and half of those who are in nursing homes fall. Falls are a major cause of injury and death in the elderly and are a serious concern for caregivers.
The most common injuries from falls include hip fractures, head injuries, and broken arms or legs. However, it is important to note that many fall-related injuries are mild, affecting only the soft tissues and bones of a person’s body.
Moreover, even in cases where a fall does not result in injury, the consequences can be significant. A fall can create a fear of falling again, which in turn restricts activity and may lead to functional decline.
medical alerts for seniors A fall that results in a serious injury can be fatal, as can falls that occur while driving or at work. Therefore, it is vitally important to be proactive in recognizing and treating any falls that occur, even if there is no serious injury involved.
Elderly who have suffered a fall should be referred to their physician for an assessment of the extent and nature of their injuries. This will help doctors to identify and treat the causes of their falls, thereby reducing the risk of future injury.
In addition, seniors who have experienced a fall should be asked about their mobility problems or any other conditions that might be causing them to fall again. This will also allow physicians to determine the need for rehabilitation therapy or other forms of care.
