Information about prescription drugs filled by pharmacists was obtained from the nationwide Pharmaceutical Management Agency database. Claims were not consistently recorded with a matchable identifier until 2005; thus, this measure is only included from 2006 (ages 34 and 35) to the end of the observation period, in which the cohort filled a total of 66,802 prescriptions.
