Exercise 6

With what you have learned from the scenario just described, what can you say about the role age plays in falls? Present statistics and provide a discussion of reasons for the age-related statistics and differences.

Step 1 of 3

Of the total 1551 non-industrial harms from falls that were made to EMS (Emergency Medical Services), people who were very young that is in the age group of less than 9 years and the people who were very old means in the age group of more than 60 years were the most susceptible to harm due to falls. From this data, it is clearly understood that these people need very much care to avoid falls.
