Background: Falls are among the most significant health problems confronting older adults. Approximately one-third of community-dwellers over the age of 65 and nearly one-half of institutionalized persons or those 80 years and older will fall or have fall-related issues every year.Purpose: The purpose of this research was to examine fall-related medications and fall-risk as predictors of fall-related hospitalizations among a cohort of community-dwelling older adults in the southern tier of New York.Methods: The study included 8,499 patients from 14 primary care practices within a large hospital system. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to examine the associations between fall-related medications and fall-risk, and their interactions as predictors of fall-related hospitalizations.Results: The study found that older adults with a fall-related medication score of six or more were 1.7 times more likely to have fall-risk (p < .001). In bivariate analyses, most fall-related medications showed no relationship with fall-related hospitalizations except for the anticonvulsant group (p = .011). When controlling for age and gender, the odds of a fall-related hospitalization were more than three times higher for those with fall-risk (OR = 3.42, p < .001) and almost six times higher for those with fall-risk and a fall-related medication score of 10 or more (OR = 5.76, p < .001).Conclusion: The findings highlight the association between fall-related medications, fall-risk, and fall-related hospitalizations among older adults. Being on a large number of fall-related medications appears to significantly increase the odds of a fall-related hospitalization for older adults with fall-risk.
