title: [Demographic-statistical analysis of pharmacotherapy with emphasis on the geriatric population].
abstract: The present paper is a contribution to the field of population pharmacoepidemiology and presents an analysis of the effect of the determinant of age on the magnitude of requirements for medicines, particularly with regard to gerontological population. The paper reports both demographic and pharmacoepidemiologic analysis of pharmacotherapy and formulates a trend of development in connection with expected demographic ageing of the Slovak population. The results reported in the paper document the demographic-health background of pharmacotherapy and point to some population connections of it.
