WHAT YOUR SCORE MEANS
A Moderate Fall Factor means one or more of the systems that keep you steady are starting to show wear. You may already notice it — a little unsteadiness, holding the rail more often, or straining to hear in a noisy room.
This is the most important window for action. At this stage, falls are still highly preventable, and the underlying causes respond well to treatment. The worst thing you can do is wait and assume it’s just normal aging. It isn’t — and it’s reversible.
YOUR ACTION PLAN
Your Fall Factor is built from two systems. To bring your score down, both need attention.
STEP 1
Address the Hearing Piece
Get your hearing and balance evaluated. Because hearing loss can raise fall risk significantly, a certified provider can identify whether it’s contributing to your score — and treat it if so.
STEP 2
Build Strength & Balance
Start a structured strength and balance program. Preventing Decline’s exercise plans and coaching are built specifically for adults working to lower their fall risk at this stage.
