Fracture hip risk calculator for seniors

by Marijke Durning, RN on May 22nd, 2008

Broken hips are a worry for many seniors and their families (Broken hips can mean much more than pain in the elderly). Obviously, prevention is important but that’s not always possible. We can often try to be as careful as possible and the tiniest or silliest thing can cause injury.

That being said, we shouldn’t stop trying. Caring.com has this simple little risk calculator for you to determine if your parent is at higher risk of falling and perhaps breaking a hip. It’s worth a look if you are worried.
