Brain Health Tip September is National Falls Prevention Awareness Month. Falls and dementia are linked: • Older adults who have fallen have a 21% higher risk of developing dementia. • Falls can cause head injuries or reduced activity, stress, and social withdrawal, all of which affect brain health. Falls prevention protects your brain: • Join classes such as EnhanceFitness® or A Matter of Balance to improve strength and balance. • Make your home safer. Add non-slip mats, improve lighting, reduce clutter, and use contrasting colors. • Wear supportive footwear, practice balance exercises, and monitor blood pressure. • Use assistive devices as needed such as walkers, grab bars, and up-to-date glasses.
