AHRQ Stats: Inappropriate Medications Prescribed for Seniors
The percentage of seniors who received potentially inappropriate prescription medications decreased from 3.3 percent in 2002 to 1.5 percent in 2012. About 2 percent of women and 1 percent of men were prescribed at least one of 11 medications that should be avoided in older adults in 2012.
