Watch your step:
A Finnish study showed a 284 percent increase in fall-induced injuries
in
people age 50 and older between 1970 and 1995. The authors, writing in
the
May 26 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, say
that
the increase is due to a larger population of older people. How can you
prevent falls? Follow these links to find out:
