Aging
The third reason is aging. Yes... we have to admit that things generally slow down as we age. One important thing that slows down is our reflexes. When you’re young, your responses are much faster and swifter.
If you trip, you instinctively reach out to grab something to stabilize yourself. If you slip on a slippery surface, your feet may make a few quick backward steps to compensate and regain your balance.
When you’re old, before your instincts and reflexes can kick in, you’re already on the ground. Your reaction time will be much slower when you’re old. Regular exercise and sports can improve your reflexes.
Vision problems
Vision problems are another often neglected issue. Many accidents have taken place on the road involving seniors who are pedestrians. They’re often unable to see the traffic lights or the oncoming traffic clearly.
In the home, they may not be able to see objects in their way and may trip on them. Using spectacles may help but if the glasses are bifocal, there may be depth perception issues that could pose possible problems.
In cases like these, it’s best to keep the surroundings at home clear, easily navigable and well-lit. Most falling incidents happen at home.
Muscle atrophy and strength loss
As a person ages, there is a change in the body’s composition. People are more prone to weight gain and muscle mass decreases. In fact, men lose 1% of muscle every year from the age of 30.
