Oct. 25, 2005 – Americans, and especially senior citizens, spend a good bit of their conversations discussing the high cost of prescription drugs. But, for some reason, even in states with large elderly populations, like Florida, most people are not buying the equal but less expensive generic drugs. U. S. consumers could have saved $20 billion in 2004 and even more during 2005 and future years by using more generic drugs, according to a new report by Express Scripts, Inc. News for senior citizens and baby boomers.

Almost two-thirds of injury-related hospitalizations for seniors are the result of falls and it is estimated that injurious falls cost the health care system over $1 billion each year. Falls are the cause of disability, reduced quality of life and social contact, institutionalization, shortened lives, and immense costs to the Canadian health system. Report on Seniors` falls in Canada describes not only the incidence and consequences of seniors` falls, but also a review of known factors for falls among seniors, and evidence of current best practices and programs to prevent seniors` falls. The report provides 64 pages of valuable information for health policy makers and health practitioners working with seniors.
