Year-end and New Year accidents for the elderly: Consumer Affairs Agency calls for attention
年末年始は大掃除や帰省など普段と違う行動が増えることから、消費者庁が高齢者の事故について注意を呼び掛けています
The Consumer Affairs Agency is calling attention to accidents involving the elderly, as unusual behaviors such as general cleaning and homecoming will increase during the year-end and New Year holidays.
In December, when cleaning is done, the number of accidents of elderly people during cleaning will increase to about twice that of other months.
It is important to be careful when working in a high place and to work in a stable place.
In addition, the number of elderly people who suffocated by choking on rice cakes in their throats is rising to 661 in the two years since 2018.
Of these, 127 died on the third day of the New Year.
It is necessary to cut the mochi into small pieces or prepare one that is easy to eat, and be careful to drink tea or soup to moisten your throat before eating.
