Each year, older adults experience roughly 36 million falls, and sadly, this leads to over 32,000 deaths. However, there's a practical solution that could significantly reduce these numbers: wearing proper footwear. Researchers have found that rubber-soled sneakers are the most effective option. Sneakers provide comfort and enhance stability, which helps lower the risk of falling. In fact, a study found that seniors who wore something other than sneakers had a 30% higher chance of experiencing a fall.
So, if you aren't wearing sneakers already, this is a good time to start. Read on to find out the do's and don'ts of wearing sneakers in your 60s.
