Discuss the incidents and reasons behind accidents among late adults.

On Jul 26, 2024


Answers will vary. Though accidents can occur at any age, older people face greater risks of unintentional injuries from falls, motor vehicle accidents, residential fires, and nonfatal poisoning. Accidents are the ninth leading cause of death among older Americans. Falls are especially dangerous for older adults with osteoporosis because of the increased risks of fractures. Many accidents involving older adults could be prevented by equipping the home with safety features such as railings and nonskid floors. Wearing proper glasses and using hearing aids can reduce the risk of accidents resulting from vision or hearing problems, including many motor vehicle accidents. Adherence to safe driving speeds is especially important among older drivers because they have slower reaction times than do younger drivers.
