[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST F976R0xl. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The authors examined the effects of cognitive function, as assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination, and drug use on the incidence of hip fracture in a community-based Swedish population of 1,608 subjects who were aged >=75 years on October 1,1987, and who had not had a hip fracture. During the 7,123.8 person-year follow-up, 134 first hip fractures were identified. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the relative risk of developing hip fracture, taking into account several potential confounders. Compared with those without cognitive impairment, subjects with mild impairment (Mini-Mental State Examination scores 18-23) had a relative risk of 2.04 (95% confidence interval (Cl) 1.29-3.24), and subjects with moderate-severe impairment (Mini-Mental State Examination score
