Learn not to fall
    One bad fall can mean a lengthy hospital stay, painful rehabilitation, a loss of independent life, or worse. The good news is that there are things you can learn to lower the risk of falling, either for yourself or someone you care for.

Learning how these medical conditions lead to falls is the first step toward understanding the risks.
