basic falling questions

Please answer as accurately as possible. Thanks

1) 1/3 of people 65+ fall per year. Can we than say that someone 65+
will most certainly fall in the next 3 years and if someone has two
parents 65+ that he should be afraid that one of his parents will
almost certainly fall in the next 1 =BD year?

2) It=92s said that running to pick up a ringing phone is a serious
potential hazardous situation that can make people fall. Is it because
of the running or because there is excitement involved that could make
people vulnerable?

There is a relationship between falls and the level of vitamin D.
More D to some point is better.

Quite number of meds make people more prone to falls and
some of the same meds and some other meds can make
the landing more liekley to result in a break.

People need to learn to let the phone answer maching pickup
or to carry a cellular phone.

I have a problem with vertigo at times. It is from from my inner ear
that I fall.

My Mother had the same thing when she was my age.

My daughter is in her 40's and she has it too.
