Falls and injury

 

Falls are the leading cause of hip fractures in the elderly.

  • Approximately 1.6million hip fractures occur worldwide each year.
     
  • Nearly 75% of these hip fractures occur in those over 65 years of age.
     
  • Loss of function and independence among survivors is profound, with 40% unable to walk independently and 60% requiring assistance a year later.
     
  • Over 20% of those who suffer a hip fracture die within 12 months.
     
  • Increased levels of care mean increased costs.
