  0-0

Abstract

 Background: Elderly people are more susceptible to common chronic diseases based on their age-related physiological changes and also use drugs more commonly, than younger people. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to determine the pattern of drug use and related factors in Elderly peoplewhoreferred to the retirement centers covered by the national retirement fund in Rasht. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 381 consecutive randomly selected Elderly people in Rasht during 2017. Data was collected using a questionnaire that included demographic characteristics, common chronic diseases, pattern of drug use, and Medication Adherence by face-to-face interviewing at the centers covered by the retirement fund. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests. Results: Of 381 people, 88. 5% took drugs. The average number of drugs used and the Self-Medication frequency were 3. 95 per day, and 35. 7%, respectively. The most common causes of Self-Medication included previous use of the same drug and symptom recovery. The most commonly used drug group among the research groups included lipid-lowering agents (48. 8%). Atorvastatin, Aspirin, and Losartan were the most commonly used drugs in the Elderly that most of subjects (53. 4%) had medium Medication Adherence. Conclusions: Since the Elderly suffer from multiple diseases simultaneously, they often use several drugs. Therefore, selfmedication and also Medication Adherence are the most important issues in this period. Educational interventions on the proper pattern of drug use among older people seem to be necessary.
