Seniors - Stay Fit to Prevent Falls

Preventing Falls:

Get Educated  -  Get Screened  -  Get Fit

Exercise Opportunities

Ask about classes that aim to build strength and improve balance, or classes which target conditions you may have, such as arthritis, osteoporosis and Parkinson’s disease.

Health Education

Ask about classes or lectures related to falls prevention.

Screenings and Assessments

Take advantage of opportunities to have your vision, hearing, gait and balance checked.

Medication Management

Pharmacists give lectures and periodically review medicines, checking for appropriate dosing; problems caused by interactions between medicines and other substances such as alcohol; and other issues that could leave you at risk of a fall.

Home Safety Checks

Be sure to check for hazards in your home that could put you at risk of falling.

You can access a safety checklist at www.cdc.gov. Go to the site and search for “Check for Safety: A Home Fall Prevention Checklist.”

So just what age qualifies for senior? My wife told me middle age ends at 55. Is that true?

Barbara, what age would you consider a senior?  Bruce brings up a good point if his wife believes middle age ends at 55, when do you become a senior?
