London: A strange news has come from hundreds of countries of the world which has surprised even the scientists themselves. The news is that the rate of human fall, injury, chronic disability and death is increasing rapidly on the planet.
One reason for this is that modern lifestyles are affecting our physical balance and the incidence of falls is increasing rapidly, with no distinction between young and old, but the good news is that we can reverse this trend.
Falling, injuries, disabilities, and deaths have occurred while standing and walking. Globally, our downfall has become the second leading cause of death after traffic accidents. In this regard, the British Medical Journal has conducted a large survey in which the fall, injury, partial or complete disability and deaths in 195 countries have been examined.

Research shows that between 1990 and 2017, the rate of serious consequences doubled due to global collapse, which is a matter of concern. In this process, the years of uselessness of life, years of disability and other aspects of life have also been reviewed. According to experts, hip, knee and ankle injuries are the most common causes of falls.
However, experts have also blamed drugs, alcohol, mobile phone use and speeding among young men and women for accidents. However, people over the age of 60 have the highest risk of disability and death after falling. But the story doesn’t end there, with 80 percent of such incidents occurring in poor and middle-income countries. Large populations are rapidly aging in countries where the incidence of falls is increasing.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 646,000 people die each year from falls. On the other hand, there are 37 million cases in which medical assistance is required. But the number of children in them can not be ignored.

But scientists insist there is a mental and acquired cause. Our lack of stability also includes a weakening of the mind and body itself. Similarly, emotionally and psychologically we are changing very fast. By getting to the bottom of them, we can greatly reduce the severity of this global problem.
For this reason, experts have also emphasized on mental exercises, yoga, walking and jogging.
