• Falls can be prevented
• Falls are the leading cause of injury for adults ages 65 and older
• Each year, 3 million older adults are treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries
• Each year, about 1 million older adults are hospitalized because of a fall injury
• Each year, over 300,000 older adults are hospitalized for hip fractures
• Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Medical costs for falls surpassed $50 billion. Medicare and Medicaid shouldered 75% of these costs

If you or someone you know suffers from imbalance, keep in mind that early intervention is key. Falling is not an inevitable result of aging, and there are steps you can take to improve your balance and decrease your chances of falling.
