| dc.description.abstract | Objective: Falling is a problem for older adults and a public health concern worldwide. Many factors
could potentially increase fall risk. The use of medication and drug-drug interactions are two factors
that potentially increase fall risk. This study aimed to investigate the possible (interaction) effects of
the use of antihypertensives on the fall risk of antidepressant users.
Conclusion: There was no significant interaction effect from the use of antihypertensives on the fall
risk of antidepressant users. More investigation is needed on this topic among subgroups of
antihypertensives and their possible interaction effect on the fall risk of antidepressant users. | |

| dc.subject | Ik heb onderzoek gedaan naar het effect van het gebruik van antihypertensiva op het valrisico van antidepressiva gebruikers. Mijn hypothese was dat antihypertensiva mogelijke een interactieeffect hebben op het valrisico van antidepressiva gebruikers en dat het valrisico hiermee verhoogd wordt. Ik heb ook de verschillende klassen antihypertensiva apart bekeken en gekeken naar het gebruik van meer dan één antihypertensivum | |
