Explanation:
Improved living standards, better healthcare, greater awareness of the importance of a healthy diet and taking regular exercise have led to more and more people enjoying life into their 80s and 90s. However older people, in particular the frail elderly, are one of the groups of our population most vulnerable to accidents, particularly in and around the home.
Those over 65 years of age are most at risk, suffering both the highest mortality rate and the most severe injuries. In 2009 in England and Wales alone, people aged 65 or over accounted for 7,475 deaths as a result of an accident of which 49% were due to a fall. More dated figures relating to A&E attendances after home accidents show that falls are by far the single largest cause of attendance. In 2002, 2.7million people attended an A&E department in the UK following a home accident, of whom 1.2million had suffered a fall. Over-65s accounted for 19 per cent of the total number of A&E home accident attendances, but 30 per cent of the attendances were due to accidental falls at home.
The majority of accidents in the older age groups also involve females rather than males.
Many of the fatal and non-fatal accidents to older people are attributable wholly or in part to frailty and failing health. This can lead to failure or slowness to see and avoid risks. By drawing the attention of older people and their carers to danger spots and unsafe habits then accidents can be reduced.
