One number. The full picture.
Your Fall Factor is a personalized score from 0 to 100 that estimates your risk of falling within the next year.
The higher your score, the higher your risk, and the more important it is to take action.
But your Fall Factor isn’t just a number. It’s a snapshot of the specific risk factors affecting you: your balance, your strength, your medications, your vision, your hearing, and the small daily habits that either protect you or put you at risk.
Most people don’t know they’re at risk until after they’ve fallen. Your Fall Factor changes that.
Falls are not a normal part of aging.
1 in 4
adults over 65 fall each year
3M
ER visits for fall injuries yearly
95%
of hip fractures are caused by falls

a fall doubles the risk of falling again
Most falls are predictable, and preventable, if you know your risk factors before they catch up with you. That’s what your Fall Factor is built to do.
Your risk doesn’t stay still.
Without action, the factors behind your score, balance, strength, hearing, vision, decline year over year. Here’s the average Fall Factor by age.

The good news: Fall Factor is one of the few health scores you can actively lower, but only if you know it.
WHAT GOES INTO YOUR SCORE
Balance & stability
Feeling unsteady walking, holding furniture for support, or struggling to stand from a chair.
Strength & mobility
How easily you climb stairs, step onto curbs, or rise from a seated position.
Medications
Prescriptions that cause dizziness, drowsiness, or affect blood pressure, a leading hidden cause.
Vision
How well you see at night, in low light, and when judging distances.
Hearing & spatial awareness
Your brain uses sound to orient itself in space. When hearing declines, balance often does too.
History & environment
Past falls and the conditions in your daily environment that raise or lower your risk.
Your personalized report shows exactly which areas are pulling your score up, and which steps will bring it down fastest.
THE CONNECTION MOST PEOPLE MISS
Why hearing belongs on a fall-risk assessment.
JOHNS HOPKINS STUDY
People with even mild hearing loss were nearly 3× more likely to fall than those with normal hearing.
Your ears do more than hear, they help your brain track where you are in space. When hearing declines, your brain works harder to stay oriented, leaving fewer resources for balance. That’s why your Fall Factor includes a hearing screen most fall-risk tools leave out.
WHO IS YOUR FALL FACTOR FOR?
For Yourself
If you’re over 55
Knowing your Fall Factor gives you the information you need to stay independent, active, and on your feet for the years ahead. The earlier you know, the more you can do about it.
