Snapshot: Why Fall Prevention Matters

Evidence shows that falls are not an inevitable part of aging. The right strategies can reduce risk and protect independence.

Falls are a leading cause of injury-related hospitalization

They are one of the most common and costly causes of injury among older adults.

Balance and lower body strength are strongly associated with fall risk reduction

Strength and balance training are proven to lower the likelihood of falls.

Environmental modifications significantly reduce preventable incidents

Safer homes and communities make a measurable difference.

Cognitive health and medication management influence stability

Memory, attention, and medications can impact balance and increase fall risk.

The organizations in this directory provide evidence-based resources aligned with these findings.
