Best Answer

The elderly do bruise more easily for the skin, muscles and bone become thinner, more brittle, delicate and fragile. A bruise is the result of broken blood vessels, like a traffic jam in the areas surrounding a freeway collapse. Care must be taken that the elderly do not fall, that they are bathed and handled gently. Even a healthy elderly person is more delicate and breakable than a healthy adult or child.
