March 7, 2011 - PRLog -- Each year, one in every three adults age 65 and older falls. Falls can lead to moderate to severe injuries, such as hip fractures and head traumas, and can even increase the risk of early death. Fortunately, falls are a public health problem that is largely preventable.

FALLS STATISTICS: The “Reality”
A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine shows that 62% of people admitted to the hospital after being found in their homes following a fall were unable to return to living independently.

Estimated TIME spent incapacitated / % found ALIVE

* Less than 1 hour: 92%
* 1-3 hours: 47%
* 3-6 hours: 25%
* 6-12 hours: 22%
* 12-24 hours: 33%
* 24-48 hours: 14%
* 48-72 hours: 12%
* Greater than 72 hours: 13%

In just one to three hours after the fall, more than 50% of the undetected victims do not survive.
