Falls and Older Adults
Frequently Asked Questions
5. How do falls affect people?
Falls most often do not result in any injury or 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.
