Over 11% of Saskatchewan's population is 65 years of age or older. To study patterns of prescribing for the elderly a computer file of more than 3.6 million prescriptions filled in Saskatchewan in 1976 was reviewed. The elderly population (aged 65 years or more) that year was 102 070, and 77.3% received at least one prescription drug listed in the Saskatchewan Formulary. In comparison with a "middle-aged" group (persons between the ages of 35 and 54 years) the elderly showed moderately higher average numbers of prescriptions filled and drugs used per person that year. However, the prescription of antihypertensive agents and diuretics increased dramatically with age, and barbiturates, in view of their potential toxicity, appeared to be overprescribed for the elderly.
萨斯喀彻温省超过11%的人口年龄在65岁及以上。为了研究老年人的处方模式，对1976年在萨斯喀彻温省填写的超过360万份处方的计算机文件进行了审查。当年老年人口（65岁及以上）为102070人，77.3%的人至少接受了一种萨斯喀彻温省处方集列出的处方药。与“中年”组（35至54岁的人）相比，当年老年人平均每人填写的处方数量和使用的药物数量略高。然而，抗高血压药物和利尿剂的处方量随年龄急剧增加，鉴于巴比妥类药物的潜在毒性，老年人似乎存在过量处方的情况。
