Falls and Fractures

A simple fall can change your life. Just ask any of the thousands of older men and women who fall each year and break (sometimes called fracture) a bone.

Getting older can bring lots of changes. Sight, hearing, muscle strength, coordination and reflexes aren’t what they once were. Balance can be affected by diabetes and heart disease, or by problems with your circulation, thyroid or nervous system. Some medicines can cause dizziness. Any of these things can make a fall more likely.

Calcium is the mineral that is required for teeth, muscle, nerve and also bone health. Adequate calcium intake helps to prevent osteoporosis, the thinning and brittleness of bone problem.

Though osteoporosis is more significant among elderly women, yet men are not exempted, though they are in lesser percentage.

Menopausal women are suggested to take around 1000 milligrams (mg) of calcium daily. Beside muscle rigor, calcium deficiency also will increase the risk of sleep disruption (difficulty to sleep or often waken up or not asleep).
