RESUMEN
Depression and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) reduce bone mass and increase fracture risk. We analyzed the association between SSRI use and fractures development in nursing homes residents during a one-year prospective observational study. Sixty-four of the 800 participants developed a fracture during the one-year follow-up. Individuals who developed fractures used SSRIs more often than residents who did not (40.6% vs 28.7%, p =0.045). SSRIs were associated with fractures (adjusted OR 1.76, 95% CI 1.04 - 2.98, p = 0.036). A regular medication review should be performed to reduce inappropriate prescriptions and related adverse consequences.
