Abstract

To determine whether insomnia and hypnotic use are predictors of falls and bone fractures in older people, we assessed their relationship using clinical data for 599 late-stage elderly patients receiving home medical care in our clinic from May 2008 to December 2011. Our analysis demonstrated that hypnotic use is not associated with a greater risk of subsequent falls and bone fractures.
