Age: Older adults often experience decreased balance due to muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and sensory impairments. Medications: Certain medications can affect balance by causing dizziness or sedation. Medical Conditions: Conditions such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, and diabetes can impair balance. Environmental Factors: Poor lighting, slippery floors, and obstacles can increase the risk of falls.
