Abstract
The population of older adults who are at risk for or experiencing falls and resulting injuries in the United States is increasing. Adults aged ≥85 years are the fastest-growing age group among U.S. residents, and are projected to reach approximately 8.9 million in 2030 [1]. More than 1 in 4 adults ages 65 and older reported falling and one in 10 reported a fall-related injury in 2014 [2]. Among older adults, falls account for approximately 60% of all injury-related ED visits and over 50% of injury-related deaths annually [3].
