Falls among senior citizens often are fatal
1w ago00:13:45Tap to summarizeOlder U.S. adults are increasingly dying from unintentional falls, according to a new federal report with white people accounting for the vast majority of the deaths. From 2003 to 2023, death rates from falls rose more than 70% for adults ages 65 to 74, the report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. The rate increased more than 75% for people 75 to 84, and more than doubled for seniors 85 and older. The CDC researchers did not try to answer why death rates from falls are increasing. But experts say there may be a few reasons, like gradually improving our understanding of the the role falls play in deaths and more people living longer — to ages when falls are more likely to have deadly consequences. R.N. Kelly Hilsabeck specializes in Trauma Injury prevention and talked about preventing falls on W-I-Z-M LaCrosseTalk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
