    Injury and Violence

    Among seniors, falls are the leading cause of injuries, hospital admissions for trauma, and
    deaths due to injury. One in every three seniors (age 65 and older) will fall each year.
    Strategies to reduce injury include exercises to improve balance and strength and medication
    review. Home modifications can help reduce injury. Home security is needed to prevent
    intrusion. Home-based fire prevention devices should be in place and easy to use. People
    aged 65 and older are twice as likely to die in a home fire as the general population.
