        Summary
        We found that nearly a quarter of the total population used four or more medications. However, no significant association was found between the use of polypharmacy and falls over a one-year follow-up period. The correlation was influenced by different confounding factors and especially by the use of FRIDs. Further investigation with a vulnerable population and complete data on medication adherence is needed. If there is study involving an intervention design for medication review, it would be advisable to give more consideration to the role of FRIDs
