Aðrir sérfræðingar gáfu hlutfallslega heldur færri símaávísanir. Eins og áður er komið fram (16) jókst ávísanafjöldinn með hækkandi aldri sjúklinganna. Því er ástæða til að athuga aldursdreifingu (tafla V) og meðalaldur sjúklinganna hjá læknahópnum (tafla VI). Geðlæknar höfðu hlutfallslega flesta unga sjúklinga og fæsta yfir 65 ára aldri. Meðalaldur sjúklinga, sem þeir ávísuðu geðlyfjum, var 50 ár. Sjúklingar lyflæknanna dreifðust allt öðru vísi eftir aldri. Tæpur helmingur þeirra sem lyflæknar ávísuðu geðlyfjum var yfir 65 ára aldri. Nokkur munur var á aldursdreifingu sjúklinga heimilislæknanna eftir því hvort þeir höfðu sérfræðiviðurkenningu eða ekki. Þetta kann að tengjast því að sérfræðingar í heimilislækningum voru mun yngri (Tafla VI). Dreifigreining á aldri sjúklinganna eftir kyni Table VII.
