[Comparison of the utilization of therapeutic and preventive care in men and women over 60 years of age living in a large city].
The authors investigated the consumption of health care in 1428 subjects above 60 years old. Selected indicators were evaluated in relation to sex. Women visited doctors more frequently in the surgery, and made more frequently use of the demiciliary service. The majority of evaluated indicators of health care consumption was higher in women than in men. Examinations at specialized policlinical departments and hospital admissions were more frequent in men. This is associated with the severity of complaints from which the old people suffer. In this context preventive measures are very important as well as improvement of the health consciousness of old people.
