An estimated one in three adults ages 65 years and older experience a fall each year. Falls can cause fractures, head trauma and other injuries that lead to hospitalization, disability and premature death. Hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries are the most serious fall-related injuries in older adults. Over 90% of hip fractures among older adults are caused by falls, and in 2005, fall-related TBI accounted for 50% of unintentional fatal falls among older adults.
