Injuries to the Elderly
Our Senior Citizens are our nation’s most valuable asset. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience. They are our adoring grandmothers, grandfathers, relatives, in-laws, neighbors and friends. Here in the United States we have an ageing population due to better health care which has led to increased life expectancy.
While our advancing years brings more wisdom and experience, it also has some downside. Older people who sustain injury are more likely to have a permanent problem. One that can affect them for the remainder of their life. Also, when an older person does sustain an accidental injury, that injury will many times complicate (and make worse) other health problems such high blood pressure (hypertension). There are also some conditions, such as diabetes, which make it more difficult for an older person to heal from their injuries.
Of course, older people sustain injuries the same way as any other person, including: car accident, slip and fall, or on the job injury. The difference is that the injury is usually more severe and complicated because of the person’s age and the pre-condition of their body. Therefore, an older person may require specialized medical attention, or more therapy and treatment than usual.
