A simple fall can change your life. Just ask any of the thousands of older adults who fall each year and fracture a bone.
Getting older can bring lots of changes. Sight, hearing, muscle strength, coordination and reflexes aren't what they once were.
Balance can be affected by diabetes and heart disease, or by problems with your circulation, thyroid or nervous system. Some medicines can cause dizziness. Any of these things can make a fall more likely.
