Older Adults and Falls

Falls are not an inevitable part of ageing, but alcohol can increase the risk.

Alcohol affects:

• Balance and coordination
• Judgement and reaction time
• Strength and stability when moving around

Taking simple steps to reduce alcohol consumption can help you stay active, independent and confident.

If you’re worried about falling, support is available. Contact the Lanarkshire Falls Hub on 📞 01698 753734.
