Daily use of antidepressants associated with increased risk of fracture in older adults

40 percent), ankle and foot (21 percent), hip (13 percent), rib (13 percent) femur (9 percent) and back (4 percent). Participants who used SSRIs at the beginning of the study had similar increased risks of fracture to those who used them at follow-up.

During the initial interview, the daily use of SSRIs was associated with an increased risk of falling. The effect was dose-dependent; doubling the daily dose of SSRIs increased the odds of falling 1.5-fold during the previous month. Daily use of SSRIs was also associated with a 4 percent decreased BMD at the total hip and a 2.4 percent decrease at the lumbar spine.

"Our results suggest that BMD and falls may be affected adversely by daily SSRI use but that fracture rates remain elevated despite adjustment for these two risk factors, indicating that other pathways, such as impaired bone quality leading to reduced bone strength, may be of particular relevance," the authors conclude. "In light of the high rate of SSRI use among the general population, and among elderly persons in particular, further studies that include controlled prospective trials are needed to confirm our findings."
