When you’re young, tripping and falling can leave you with a bruised ego. As we age, minor accidents like these can be devastating. Bones can become weaker with age, and osteoporosis, which makes bones less dense, increases the risk of fractures. In the United States, more than one in four people aged 65 and older falls each year, and momentary loss of balance can lead to serious injuries like hip fractures.
