Of the risks listed above, falls contribute most significantly to the incidence of osteoporotic fractures. Regular exercise has the strongest correlation in decreasing fall risk. Back and posture exercises such as tai chi as well as weight-bearing exercises such as walking can slow bone loss, improve balance, and strengthen muscles. There are also precautions that can be taken at home to reduce the risk of falling. These include anchoring rugs to the floor, minimizing clutter, improving overall lighting and visibility, and installing handrails in stairways and hallways.
