According to a write up by the Global First Aid Referral Center (GFARC):
“People over 65 years old are the most vulnerable age group to illnesses and domestic accidents. They are more prone to falls and develop cardiovascular disease, and other health issues such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
“In a world of growing ageing population, where people aged 65 and over represents 1 adult out of 6 in 2050, it is crucial to train more older people in first aid.
“Older adults need to become aware of risks they face but also of preventive measures. Education on early signs recognition and first aid in an emergency can help reduce suffering and save lives”.
Consider this piece, a call for action, and act accordingly.
