Resumo: | This study examined differences in the use of medications in two birth cohorts (born from 1916 to 1926 and from 1927 to 1937) among older elderly in the population-based cohort study in Bambuí, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The study used data on participants who were 71-81 years of age in the baseline survey in 1997 (n = 492) and in the 11th wave, in 2008 (n = 620). The number of medications currently consumed (mean = 4.6 and 3.4, respectively) and prevalence of polypharmacy (46.6% and 29.1%, respectively) were higher in the more recent cohort as compared to the earlier one. These differences were independent of gender, age, schooling, number of medical visits in the previous 12 months, and number of chronic conditions. The more recent cohort showed significant differences in the use of psychoactive drugs, lipid modifying agents, drugs for diabetes, and antithrombotic agents, as well as changes in drugs used for arterial hypertension. In general, these changes are consistent with those observed in elderly populations in high-income countries. |

Foram utilizados dados dos participantes com 71-81 anos de idade da linha de base em 1997 (n = 492) e do 11º ano de seguimento em 2008 (n = 620). O número de medicamentos consumidos (média = 4,6 e 3,4, respectivamente) e a prevalência da polifarmácia (46,6% e 29,1%, respectivamente) foram mais altos na coorte recente, em comparação à antiga. Essas diferenças foram independentes do sexo, idade, escolaridade, número de consultas médicas e número de doenças crônicas. Na coorte mais jovem, observaram-se aumentos significativos no uso de psicofármacos, agentes modificadores de lipídios, hipoglicemiantes e antitrombóticos, assim como mudanças nos medicamentos utilizados para o controle da hipertensão arterial. De maneira geral, essas mudanças são consistentes com o observado em populações idosas de países de alta renda.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2011-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4672Reports in Public Health; Vol. 27 No. 15 (2011): Supplement 3Cadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 27 n. 15 (2011): Suplemento 31678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4672/9535https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4672/9536Loyola Filho, Antônio Ignácio deFirmo, Josélia O.
