Os usuários de benzodiazepínicos também apresentaram alto risco de queda na presente pesquisa, podendo ser justificado pela atividade sedativa e pelo bloqueio alfaadrenérgico, responsáveis, respectivamente, por alterações psicomotoras e aumento da probabilidade de hipotensão postural, levando ao risco aumentado de quedas (4) .…”
