It's no small matter that the old man fell. How to prevent the elderly from falling down in life?

Preventing the elderly from falling requires the joint efforts of individuals, families and the whole society. We call on the whole society to act together to enhance the awareness and ability of the public and the elderly to prevent falls, provide an aging home environment and barrier-free public environment for the elderly, and reduce the risk of falls for the elderly.

1. Exercise training helps to reduce the risk of fracture caused by falls in the elderly.

Scientific exercise training can maintain or increase the muscle strength of the elderly, slow down the joint stiffness caused by aging, improve the flexibility and balance of the body, and adhere to bone health. It is suggested that the elderly should stick to physical activities as much as possible, increase daily activities as much as possible, and reduce static behaviors such as sedentary. The elderly should insist on at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity every week, or take appropriate physical exercise according to their physical condition. Exercise at least three days a week to enhance your balance and flexibility.

2. Learning the common sense of preventing falls and developing good behavior habits will help prevent the elderly from falling.

Automatically learn the common sense and technology of falling prevention, and enhance the understanding of falling prevention. Rational use of drugs, please ask a doctor to evaluate the drugs used to prevent falling down due to embarrassment and fainting due to medication. Develop good behavior habits, avoid climbing to get things, avoid taking steep stairs, steps and ramps, and avoid going to places with many people and wet ground. Wear clothes that suit you and shoes that suit you and are non-slip. Choose crutches, walkers, hearing AIDS and other auxiliary tools according to your physical condition. Elderly people with osteoporosis can use hip protectors according to the situation.

Don't get up too quickly after falling, so as not to cause secondary injury.

The old man is too eager to get up after falling, which may cause more serious secondary injuries. After a fall, we should first judge the degree of injury through our own feelings and slight physical activities under the condition of ensuring environmental safety. If you are seriously injured after falling, you should stick to your original position as much as possible, ask people around you for help or call emergency numbers to wait for help. After the old man falls, whether he is injured or not, he should inform his family or doctor in time.
