title: Staying strong.
abstract: Each June Age UK marks falls awareness week. The charity highlights that falls and fractures in people aged 65 and over are responsible for more than four million hospital bed days a year in England. They also have significant long-term effects such as loss of confidence, increased isolation and reduced independence.
