Is falling a sign of declining health or is health decline secondary to fracture?

Not necessarily: Very interesting question, falls at your age could have many reasons and do not indicate health deterioration.Falls occur mainly in people after age 65 with poor vision and imbalance problems.Fracture hips have many times complications associated with the teatment.If you are falling frquently suggest you see your fp.
