Patients were prescribed 1.9\u2009\u00b1\u20091.0 oral antihypertensive agents (mean\u2009\u00b1\u2009SD). Overall, 58.6% of patients were prescribed two or more antihypertensive agents, and the most frequently prescribed classes were calcium channel blockers (CCB) and angiotensin\u2009II receptor blockers (ARB). As the number of concomitant antihypertensive agents prescribed increased, the prescription rate of a CCB\u2009+\u2009an ARB FDC decreased, whereas the prescription rate of an ARB\u2009+\u2009a diuretic FDC increased. This trend was the same regardless of age. Of the 12\u2009222 patients who were prescribed a CCB\u2009+\u2009an ARB, 26.0% received a FDC. In contrast, of the 922 patients prescribed an ARB\u2009+\u2009a thiazide diuretic, 80.6% received a FDC. Medium doses of both CCB and ARB agents, and low doses of diuretics were the most frequently prescribed for each class.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our analyses show that the real\u2010world use of FDC varies depending on the combination of agent class and the number of prescriptions; the latter was similar regardless of age. <jats:bold>Geriatr Gerontol Int 2019; 19: 1077\u20131083<\/jats:bold>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ggi.13743","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,22]],"date-time":"2019-08-22T03:59:32Z","timestamp":1566446372000},"page":"1077-1083","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Treatment patterns of antihypertensive fixed\u2010dose combinations according to age and number of agents prescribed: Retrospective analysis using a Japanese claims database"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1690-3899","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takayuki","family":"Ishida","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Japan Medical Office, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Akinori","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Japan Medical Office, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nobuhiro","family":"Nishigaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Japan Medical Office, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takuya","family":"Tsuchihashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Steel Memorial Yawata Hospital  Kitakyushu Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1253\/circj.CJ-13-0847"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/hr.2014.20"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph15081645"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ggi.13276"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/HJH.0000000000001940"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ccl.2010.08.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1472-6963-13-124"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjopharm.2012.02.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/HYPERTENSIONAHA.109.139816"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1527-5299.2003.03269.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3143\/geriatrics.54.G2"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10641963.2018.1465074"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
