Detail in how young people walk who predicts whether they will suffer a fatal health problem in the 60s, experts reveal

Scientists can now predict how you are probably to undergo a potentially deadly fall in your 60s based on how you walk in your 20S.

Falls are an important cause of injury and death in the elderly in the UK.

Official data suggest that a third of more than 65 years of age suffer a decrease in Britain and the accident is the most common cause of death due to injury in this group.

Falls are also the main cause of A&E visits for the elderly in the nation, and the treatment of them cost the NHS An estimated £ 2 billion a year.

But now scientists say that they might have found a way to identify people with an increased risk of life -threatening valley decades before they reach an advanced age.

In the study, experts from Stanford University discovered in the US that they were able to accurately predict the fall risk of three simple measurements.

These were how variable the width between steps was when walking, how different the timing of each step was and how consistently put their feet on the floor.

Writing in the Journal of Experimental BiologyThe authors said that each of these measurements was 86 percent accurate when someone would later fall into the experiment.

In the study, the researchers had 10 healthy volunteers between 24 and 31 hours on a treadmill for 11 special cameras.

With the help of these, scientists could record precise data about how each person walked exactly from every corner.

In the second phase, each of volunteers was asked to walk on the treadmill again, but this time while wearing heavy single bracelets, a visible mask and destabilizing air rays.

This combination of equipment is designed to imitate the loss of balance and reaction speed for falls that are delivered with older age.

They analyzed the results and found participants with the highest variance step width, step -timing and where they placed their feet in the first phase, were more likely to fall into the second.

The team emphasized how in many countries, doctors usually only judge how people walk and their potential autumn risk after they show mobility problems.

Jiaen Wu, main author of the paper, said that data as collected in their research can be used to predict falls among older people before they are at risk.

“A big challenge is that small balance disorders can go unnoticed until someone actually falls,” they said.

About one in three people aged 65 and older have a fall at least once a year, increase to one in two people aged 80 and older. Government data shown that display the A&E allowance for falls among the more than 65 seconds per 100,000 population per year

They added that stopping falls before they occur may save many life and health care systems billions in costs.

The new study follows a recent study that demonstrated the elderly who have a positive attitude towards aging more likely to recover better if they have a fall.

About one in three people aged 65 and older have a fall at least once a year, increase to one in two people aged 80 and older, according to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.

Official data show that there were almost 220,000 Falls-related A&O hospital recordings in people aged 65 and over in England in the past financial year.

Falling can cause the elderly to suffer on their hips, which in turn can lead to deteriorating mobility and a greater risk of future falls and further injury.

Older people are more vulnerable for falling due to a general weakness and vulnerability that is accompanied by age that makes it more challenging for them to recover.
