As Taiwan and Japan grapple with the ongoing challenges of population aging, obtaining an accurate understanding of the prevalence of these indicators is crucial for developing effective strategies to optimize pharmacotherapy in older populations. The present study aims to comprehensively evaluate the prevalence of polypharmacy and PIMs in Taiwan and two Japanese cohorts, shedding light on the similarities and differences in prescribing practices across these populations.enAgeing society; Japan; Polypharmacy; Potentially inappropriate medications; Taiwanjournal article10.1016/j.archger.2023.105100374993322-s2.0-85165649298https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85165649298
