What are the leading causes of falls in older people?
Fall risks are divided into internal and external risks, says Nabors. Internal risks include vision problems, balance issues or trouble with mobility. External risks are factors in your home and community, like uneven sidewalks or electrical cords in walkways.

What can I do to prevent and recover from falls?

If you fall, that doubles your chance of another fall. Check your risk level with this brief National Council on Aging questionnaire.
Nabors recommends asking your doctor to identify your potential fall risks, including vision issues, balance problems and certain chronic conditions, such as arthritis. Nash recommends yearly eye and hearing exams.

Speak with your doctor or pharmacist about medications and their associated risks annually or when you start a new medication, Nabors says. Side effects or interactions with other medications can increase the chance of falling. Be mindful of alcohol and how it might interact with medications.

Staying social can also protect against falls, Nash observes. Relationships lead us to make plans, which naturally increases physical activity.

Improving and maintaining strength and balance lowers your risk of falling, and increases your resilience if you do fall, says Nabors.
