Falls and Older Adults
Frequently Asked Questions
5. How do falls affect people?
Falls most often result in bruises or minor cuts, but they
sometimes affect a person's physical or mental well-being. At least
one-tenth of falls result in serious injury to soft tissues or
bones. A fall can cause a fracture, head injury, or other problem
that can change a person's life. (Answer continues on next
