“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence, ” said Dr. TomFrieden. The falls are preventable, Friedenstressed. He said individuals, families and healthcare providers can take steps to resist the trend. Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors whohave experienced a fall alone at home don ’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention effortsdon’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.
“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors. A fall is a veryfrightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid thatthey will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house, ”said Wolf-Klein. It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker than they really are,she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same,Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic(慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of thepopulation will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they ’re ina wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and loseindependence,” she said.
