It is important to avoid injuries at all stages of life. Older people are at a relatively higher risk of developing injuries as well as dying from injuries, compared to younger people. Falling is an important cause of death amongst older persons. The risk of hip fracture increases exponentially with age in both men and women. It is reported that 30% of people with a hip fracture will die in the following year. Physical exercise can help by building stronger bones and muscles. Although driving is important for functional independence and development and maintenance of social relationships, older people may develop impaired driving performance and a formal driving evaluation may be advisable. Also, the danger of cumulative and repetitive trauma to the brain has been known for many years and head injuries double the risk of Alzheimer’s. The human brain is not well protected from damages inflicted by physical forces. All injuries to the head are bad, including big ones and repetitive small ones. All forms of head injuries must be avoided throughout life.
