Balanced News: Older Men More at Risk as Dangerous Falls Rise for All Seniors

According to the new study, falls are more dangerous for senior men than senior women. Older “patients are at higher risk of skull fractures and intercranial bleeding, and we wanted to look at any patient presenting with a head injury.” Older people are often not aware of the physical declines that occur during middle age, which can lead to accidents. Physical therapy and balance exercises can help mitigate these declines, but if you reach your senior years and notice any physical decline, it’s important to talk to your doctor about the risks of falls.
