Older adults, and those with hip fracture, follow one of three trajectories of depressive symptoms which are broadly stable over time. Depressive symptoms' prevalence was higher for those with hip fracture and, when present, the symptoms were more severe than the overall population. Results suggest a role of factors including age, gender, and marital status in depressive symptoms trajectories.
