injuries due to falls. Every 15 seconds, an older

nearly 7,000 older adults are hospitalized and
about 300 die from a fall. Both nationally and in
Oklahoma, falls are the leading cause of fatal
and nonfatal injuries for those aged 65 and over.

In addition, falls can result in a fear of failing
again, which causes many people to limit their
activity and reduce their sense of independence.
Preventing falls is important for preserving
quality of life. Some fall prevention tips include
the following:
• Exercise regularly. Exercises that improve
strength balance, and coordination are the most
helpful in lowering the risk of fallGfclated

“Falls are not a normal part of aging, so we
use the ’fall season’ as an opportunity to edu-
cate older adults and the community at large
about how to reduce the risk of falling,” said
OSDH Injury Prevention Project Coordinator
Avy Redus. “We encourage seniors and their
families to take proactive steps to prevent falls,
and stay independent for as long as possible.”
Studies show that a cotnbiii.iii- i> >>t in
lions can significantly reduce falls in the older
adult population. Experts recommend a physi-
cal activity regimen with balance, strength
training, and flexibility components; consulting
with a health professional about getting a fall
risk assessment; having medications reviewed
periodically; getting eyes checked annually;
and making sure the home environment is safe
and supportive.
In Oklahoma, individuals have been trained
Tai Chi instructors and teach Tai Chi;
combinations of medications can contribute to
drowsiness or dizziness, which may increase
the risk of falling.
• Have vision screenings at least once a year.
The wrong prescription eyeglasses or health
conditions, such as glaucoma or cataracts, limit
vision and may increase the risk of falling. about her angeT, she nipped out

DEAR ABBY: My younger
sister, "Tanya," is 22 and a sin-
gle mother. Her son is 2. She's
pregnant again, and this time
her baby will be a girl.
My sister is very dramatic
and emotional She gets angry
easily and has a short fuse.
She's great with her son. except
he picks up on her drama and is
somewhat dramatic himself.
My worry is that girls are more
likely to mTitatt' tii« behavior,
and I'm concerned my niece
will be just like her mother.
Although Tanya has a good
heart, her emotional issues
have caused her to have horri-
ble relationships with men, as
our mother did.
When I suggested to my sis-
ter that she talk to someone
It doesn't have to be anything
complicated, but see it through.

nect these friends, who don't
know each other. I realize mak-
ing friends can be hard, and I'd
love to help them in that way.
What would be the best way
to do this? ! don't have a lot of
time to spend inviting everyone
together and having them get to
know each other. I'd like to do
a quick introduction, then let
them go have fun doing "single
people' things, is this possible?

Moving for Better Balance classes around the
state to older adults. The Tai Chi: Moving for
Better Balance program has been proven to
reduce the risk of falls. This exercise program
focuses on improving functional ability, such as
balance and physical function, to reduce fall-
to fall-related injuries.
• Keep floors clean and clear of clutter where
people walk.
• Maintain adequate lighting throughout the
home, especially near stairways.
• Remove throw rugs or use nonskid throw
rugs in the home.
• Install handrails on stairways.
• Increase safety in the bathroom by using
non-slip mats in the bathtub or shower,
installing grab bars, and using a shower chair
when needed.
• Keep items needed for regular use in easy-
to-reach places that don't require the use of a
step stool.

TRYING TO HELP
Perseverance is a skill that
can be learned. Each time you
succeed, you will reinforce the
idea that you CAN do it. The
more you do this, the better you
will feel about yorrself, and it
will be reflected in your work
and social relationships.
DEAR UNIFIER:
Absolutely. Call or email your
friends and tell them there are
people you want them to meet
because you think they'd enjoy
each other. Then arrange a
group lunch at a convenient
location and introduce them.
After that, if the chemistry is
right, they'll become friendly.

DEAR TRYING TO
HELP: Suggesting that Tanya
discuss this with a professional
wasn't rude; it was a loving
thing to do. Your sister reacted
defensively because she isn't
ready to admit she needs help.
What you must do is hope
that one day she will be recep-
tive, but also accept that it may
never happen. Not everyone is
strong enough to face the fact
that they need help or willing
to reach out for it.
DEAR ABBY: I am a mar-
ried woman with several single
friends. They are always eager
to do things with me, but mar-
ried life is a lot different than
being single. I'd love to con-
