“…Among adults there is a large gender-difference, with higher use among women. 10,23 In the present study, gender was not a determinant of medicine use. Only at 12 months a slightly higher use was observed among boys.…”

“…24 In another study among adults, although the highest prevalence was reported in white individuals, skin color was not associated to medicine use after adjustment. 10 Maternal and/or child's health insurance positively infl uenced medicine use after 12 months of age. This fact may be associated to higher access to health care services and thus higher number of medical visits.…”

OBJECTIVE: To identify factors associated to medicine use among children from the 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort, Brazil. METHODS: Prospective study to evaluate medicine use in children aged 3, 12 and 24 months regardless of the reasons, therapeutic indication or class. The study included 3,985 children followed up at three months of age, 3,907 at 12 months, and 3,868 at the last follow-up time of 24 months. Mothers were interviewed to collect information on medicine use during the recall period of 15 days prior to the interview. The outcome was studied according to sociodemographic and perinatal variables, mother's perception of child's health and breastfeeding status. Crude and adjusted analyses were performed by Poisson regression following a hierarchical model. RESULTS: The prevalence of medicine use ranged from 55% to 65% in the three follow-ups. After controlling for confounders, some variables remained associated to medicine use only at the three-month follow-up with greatest use among children of younger mothers, those children who had intrapartum complications, low birthweight, were never breastfed and were admitted to a hospital. Greatest medicine use was also associated with being a firstborn child at 3 and 12 months; mother's perception of their child health as fair or poor and children whose mothers have private health insurance at 12 and 24 months; highest maternal education level at all follow-up times. CONCLUSIONS: Different variables influence medicine use among children during the first two years of life and they change as the child ages especially maternal factors and those associated to the child's health problems.

“…However, the length of time of use of medicines was 15 days in the study by Bertoldi et al 2 These authors 2 also showed other prevalences, found by different researchers: a prevalence of 69.9% of use of medicines in adults, when the suggested length of time of use was 30 days; when this length of time was 90 days, prevalence rose to 73.3%.…”

“…Quanto ao sexo, o fato das mulheres comprarem mais medicamentos quando comparadas aos homens pode ser em parte explicado pela maior preocupação com a saúde e melhor conhecimento sobre doenças, fazendo com que procurem com mais frequência os serviços de saúde (FIGUEIREDO; SCHRAIBER, 2011). Ademais, existem programas exclusivos de assistência à saúde da mulher, como prevenção de câncer do colo uterino, mama e reposição hormonal, que também geram maior demanda por uso de medicamentos (BERTOLDI et al, 2004).…”

RESUMOO objetivo do estudo foi verificar associações entre prática de atividades físicas, obesidade abdominal e compra de medicamentos por usuários do sistema público de saúde da cidade de Bauru/SP. A amostra foi composta por adultos com idade acima de 50 anos e através de entrevista foram coletadas informações sobre compra de medicamentos, prática de atividades físicas, condição econômica e tabagismo. Índice de massa corporal e perímetro abdominal compuseram marcadores de obesidade geral e abdominal. Como principais resultados encontrou-se que a compra de medicamentos foi maior entre mulheres, pessoas com mais de 65 anos, não-fumantes e naqueles com obesidade abdominal. De forma inversa, indivíduos ativos apresentaram menor compra de medicamentos quando comparados aos sedentários. Por fim, quando inatividade física e a obesidade abdominal foram agregadas em uma única variável, pessoas apenas inativas fisicamente e inativas fisicamente com obesidade abdominal apresentaram chances aumentadas de comprar medicamentos no último mês.
