Age- and gender-specific percentages of patients prescribed benzodiazepines. The number of male inpatients in each age category was as follows: 18--24 yr (n = 391), 25--34 yr (n = 827), 35--44 yr (n = 1017), 45--54 yr (n = 1119), 55--64 yr (n = 2547), 65--74 yr (n = 3285), 75--84 yr (n = 2207), and ≥ 85 yr (n = 451). The number of female inpatients in each age category was as follows: 18--24 yr (n = 399), 25--34 yr (n = 1241), 35--44 yr (n = 1148), 45--54 yr (n = 843), 55--64 yr (n = 1519), 65--74 yr (n = 2070), 75--84 yr (n = 1807), and ≥ 85 yr (n = 618). * P < 0.05 between sexes (chi-square test, two-tailed, Bonferroni multiple comparisons).
