Elderly people are prone to fractures because they often suffer from osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition that makes bones weak and fragile. As people age, their bone density decreases, making bones less strong. Additionally, elderly people tend to have reduced muscle strength and slower reaction times, making falls more likely. Once a fracture occurs, the recovery process is much slower compared to younger individuals, and complications such as infections or other health issues due to prolonged bed rest can arise. Therefore, fractures are particularly dangerous for the elderly.
