Patterns of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor use and risk of falls and fractures in community-dwelling elderly people: the Three-City cohort

摘要

In this population-based elderly cohort, participants using selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants have an increased risk of falls and fractures notably when the treatment was continued over 4 years. Among the various SSRI types, citalopram only was at significant risk for falls and fluoxetine for fractures.
