• Approximately 20% of older people who fall require emergency medical attention, 30% to 50% of these result in hospitalization
• 5% to 10% of falls in older people result in serious soft tissue damage, 3% to 5% in skeletal fracture, and 1% to 2% in hip fracture
• A fall precedes 90% of hip fractures and 25% to 40% of vertebral compression fractures.

Changes in lifestyle resulting from the fear elderly people have of falling is many times just as debilitating as the injuries they want to avoid.

Falls involving elderly people many times result from a decline in their sense of balance...a normal part of aging. Research shows that the one of the best ways of preserving balance in elderly people is exercise. The best form of exercise is walking.
