On Oct. 21, former President Jimmy Carter fell at his home, resulting in a slight pelvic fracture. Carter, 95, is the oldest living president and is reportedly recovering well in hospital.

Falls can affect anybody, but older Americans are at increased risk. For example, reports are that Carter has fallen twice this month. And although you may not be 95 or falling with the same frequency, it’s something you should be thinking about.
