For elderly women taking Anastrozole, I found this paper on dosages. I can only access the abstract:

If I'm reading it correctly, it says for elderly it is best to take 1 dose every other day. There are problems if you take it every day.

But, there is a problem doing that with Leterzole as it dissolves more quickly than some of the other AI’s and thus does not offer protection if taken every other day.
Only one AI had the possibility of taking it every other day.
Google to find this article.
