This Icelandic study from May, 2017, is called "Do opioids, sedatives and proton-pump inhibitors increase the risk of fractures?"

 

"CONCLUSION: This study shows a relationship between the use of opiates, sedatives and bone fractures. The incidence of fractures was also increased in patients taking PPIs which is interesting in the light of the wide-spread use of PPIs in the community."
