Do you have elderly parents at home?

Be aware that a common cause of vertebral and hip fractures in the elderly is slipping and falling in the bathroom. Osteoporotic bones are brittle and prone to breaking with minimal falls, leading to painful vertebral compression fractures (POVCF) . To prevent such incidents, ensure the bathroom floor is dry, wipe off water after use, and consider installing anti-skid tiles, railing supports, and anti-skid floor mats. Prevention is always better than cure.
