What about seniors and falls

What about seniors and falls.
Many seniors don't bid their doctors they've had a keel over because they're agitated they'll be told they can't live on their own anymore, a medical doctor says. Millions of Americans aged 65 and older killed every year, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But, fewer than half positive their doctor, the researchers noted. "They're distraught about other people becoming worried about safety issues at home and the potential that they may have to move from their home to assisted living or a nursing home," Dr Nicole Osevala, an internal medication expert at Penn State University, said in a followers news release more information. Seniors also don't want others to bother about them.

So "If they fall and don't have a serious injury, they don't want to dog their kids or loved ones". But she urged seniors to say their doctor about any falls so the causes can be pinpointed and corrected. Chronic fitness conditions such as osteoarthritis and nerve disfigure in the feet and other extremities - called peripheral neuropathy - can boost the risk of falls, as can recent changes in health.
