Prospective association between depressive symptoms and hip fracture and fall among middle-aged and older Chinese individuals.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The effect of depressive symptoms on hip fracture (HF) and falls among the Chinese population is unclear. This study aims to examine the prospective association between depressive symptoms and HF as well as fall accidents in a nationally representative Chinese population.

Methods

Logistic regression analyses adjusted for demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors and physical comorbidities were performed.
