According to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you better watch your step in the bathroom because about 234,000 U.S. teenagers and adults are treated in emergency rooms each year for non-fatal bathroom injuries.
The report by the CDC's MMWR can be downloaded at: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/
The MMWR found that, in 2008, a total of 234,094 American teenagers and adults were treated in the emergency rooms of hospitals for injuries sustained in the bathroom.
The CDC/MMWR report also stated the following:
'¢ 80% of the injuries were due to falling
The report added, 'For adults aged ≥65 years, falls often cause serious injuries, such as hip fractures, attributed in part to osteoporosis, a metabolic disease that makes bones porous and susceptible to fracture. This study found that older adults had the highest fracture rates and were hospitalized most often.'
'¢ 29% of all injuries were cuts, scrapes, and bruises; the most of any group of injuries
