@nicholasgcarey @MJhealthecon Older adults are typically defined as "65+," whereas our paper finds that if you break out the age groups a bit more, interesting differences emerge. Most notably, that individuals aged 51-59 and 60-69 report sig. higher rates of multi-wave use relative to 70+. (3/3)

@nicholasgcarey @MJhealthecon Side note: Long term use of NSAIDs (e.g., Ibuprofen & aspirin) has negative effects for older adults as well - namely, GI bleeding and ulceration.

Second, reports of opioid prescription rates for "older adults" may be lumping together too large of an age range. (2/3)
