Ang HT, et al. - Researchers analyzed data from cohort, case-control and cross-sectional studies that investigated the association of six anti-hypertensive medication classes — namely α-blockers (AB), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), β-blockers (BB), calcium channel blockers (CCB) and diuretics — with the risk of falls, injurious falls, or recurrent falls in individuals aged ≥ 60 years vs non-users.
