A survey on drug use over the previous 2 week was conducted in 754 old persons living in Beijing. The results showed that 77. 6% of the elderly were taking one or more than one drugs (3.16 kinds of drugs per person on average). The medicines taken by those subjects mainly included drugs for cardiovascular diseases and vitamins. The main factors that affected the drug use in the elderly were disease status and awareness of self-health-care. The knowledge on, attitude toward and behavior of drug use in the elderly were discussed. It is suggested that health education and rational prescription by doctors are two effective approaches for controlling the adverse drug reactions.
