Elderly people are more prone to break bones, and for many diff reasons. Most of the time footwear or their environment is the culprit. Very stupid accidents most of the time. With age the bones become fragile, it's a well known fact. Also a well known fact is that with age, you are more prone to become T2. No wonder more T2 break bones because the proportion of elderly people with T2 is quite high. I don't find that article worrying. As I get older I'll just wear my granny shoes and get rid of rugs and clutter.
