Injurious falls before, during, and after depression diagnosis: Results from two longitudinal population-based studies
Injurious falls, especially those occurring before age 45 or after age 60, are associated with a higher risk of subsequent depression. The trajectory of injurious falls among individuals with depression begins increasing three years before diagnosis and peaks in the year of diagnosis.
