Did you know that falling down is the leading cause of injury death for Americans aged 65 and older?
Each year 35 to 40 percent of older adult Americans fall at least once.
Falling down is not just the result of getting older. Falling can be caused by a variety of circumstances, and many falls can be prevented.
Here are 4 simple steps you can take to significantly reduce your risk of injury from falling down.
Improve Your Body Balance with Exercise to Prevent Falling
● If you don’t have a regular exercise program, start one. Lack of exercise leads to weakness, and that increases your chances of falling.
● Exercises can improve your body balance and flexibility at any age. Try exercises like Yoga and Tai Chi.
● If you are over 50 and haven’t exercised regularly, check with your health care provider about the best type of exercise program for you.
Increase Your Home’s Accessibility and Safety to Reduce Falling Risks
About half of all falls happen at home. To increase accessibility and make your home safer:
● Remove items you might trip over from stairs and places where you walk.
● Remove small throw rugs(易滑地墊)or use double-sided tape to keep rugs from slipping.
● Have grab bars installed next to your toilet, and install grab bars in your tub or shower.
● Improve the lighting in your home.
● Make sure all stairways have handrails and sufficient lighting.
● Wear shoes that give good support and have thin non-slip soles.
You might also consider avoiding lightweight slippers ( especially backless styles), which can reduce your feeling of control.
Prevent Falling : Watch Out for Medication Side Effects
Age can effect the way some medications work in your body, so if you have been taking any over-the-counter medications for a while, it’s important to tell your health care provider. He or she will be able to tell you if they are still safe for you to take.
● Look out for drugs that have side effects including drowsiness(睏倦). These side effects can increase your risk of falling. This is especially important with over-the-counter cold and flu medications, which can often increase drowsiness.
● And don’t forget herbal remedies(草*). Some remedies increase sleepiness and many react with other types of medication, which could increase your risk of falling down. Be sure to check with your health care provider before trying new medication.
Want to Prevent Falling? Have Your Vision Checked Regularly
Vision problems can increase your chances of falling.
● You may be wearing the wrong glasses that cause vision problems or limit your vision.
● To reduce your risk of falling, have your vision checked by an eye doctor every year for early detection and correction of vision problems. If you can’t see something, it’s harder to avoid it, and this increase your risk of falling.
