Objective: To study the trends in prescription of different anti-osteoporotic drugs (AOD) in the UK population aged 50 years or above from 1990 till 2012.Methods: Retrospective observational study using the CPRD data link representative for the total UK population. The incidence of prescription of a specific AOD was calculated by dividing the number of prescriptions by the total person-years (py) of follow-up.Results: AOD prescript...
