September 27, is Fall Prevention Day.
The first day of Fall marks "Fall Prevention WeeK." Falls are currently the leading cause of injury deaths among persons over 65. Falls among elderly persons account for approximately 16,000 deaths and 1.8 million emergency room visits annually in 2005, the latest numbers available. In Maryland alone, falls resulted in roughly 340 deaths, 23,000 falls-related emergency room visits and 13,000 hospitalizations. Fall-related injuries for people over 65 cost over $19 billion annually. If the current rate of falls among seniors is not reduced, fall-related treatment costs will reach $43.8 billion annually by 2020, according to estimates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
