For people over the age of 65,one of the most serious health care risks is falling. This is the leading cause of death for this agegroup! For those that survive a fall, many will suffer hip fractures. Even with successful surgery,about 40% of those hospitalized for a hip fracture cannot return to independent living, and,amazingly enough, about 20% will die within a year!
