Fall Risk
- 28% adults (1 in 4) age 65+ fall each year and less than half ever tell their doctor. A fall is the most important reason to see a doctor and be evaluated.
Karen’s Fit Tip: Don’t shrug off a fall or “near fall”. Consider it a health clue. Seek out a professional to help assess your balance, identify muscle imbalances/weaknesses, and help improve your functional fitness.
