AT WHAT AGE DOES BALANCE DECLINE?

BALANCE DECLINE

Balance decline can occur at any age, but it is more common as we get older. The balance and coordination deteriorate, making falls and injuries more likely. The decline of balance starts to happen gradually as early as 30’s and it’s more noticeable as we get older, especially after the age of 60.

The decline in balance can be caused by a variety of factors, including age-related changes in the inner ear, decreased muscle strength and flexibility, and changes in the nervous system. Other factors such as chronic conditions, medications, and lack of physical activity can also contribute to balance decline.

It’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and physical activity, to help maintain and improve balance as we age.
