Tai Chi Program Helps Prevent Falls Among Older Adults

Tai Chi Program Helps Prevent Falls Among Older Adults: "'Our results are very important from a public health perspective,' says Li. 'The U.S. population is aging rapidly and falls are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity among adults age 65 and older. Falls are associated with an enormous burden to individuals, society, and to the health care system. Tai Chi, as a proven fall intervention, may have much to offer in terms of reducing the public health burden of falls and the benefits accrued for prevention.'"
