The pharmacoepidemiological phenomenon of age-dependent drug consumption and analysis of its regression models.

: A randomized pharmacoepidemiological full-year, 7x realized experiment was carried out with the purpose of analyzing the age dependence of drug volumes consumed by the population, using financial and physical measuring units to express per-capita consumption. The experiment was performed for a complete metropolitan population, representing 0.5 million people. Causal age-based dependence of the drug consumption level was found in an analytical form. Subsequently, the optimum regression model describing this dependence was sought by methods of regression and correlation analysis.
