Abstract:

Identify the profile sociodemographic and health of the elderly according diabetes, to evaluate the knowledge and practice regarding treatment options among diabetics, and to describe the use of medications and the potential for drug interactions in this subgroup. Cross-sectional study with 1,517 elderly of Campinas in 2008 were estimated diabetes prevalence and there were associations by the Rao-Scott test (p<0,05). The potential drug interactions was evaluated by Micromedex® database. The diabetes prevalence was 21.7%, higher among obese, in those who use health services, patients with 3 or more chronic diseases (p <0.01) and who consumed fruit &#8805; 4 times / week (p = 0 , 03). The average number of drugs was 3.9 in the previous 3 days. We identified 413 possible interactions, and 53.1%, 7.8% and 7.2% of the subjects presented moderate risk of drug interactions, minor and serious, respectively. We emphasize the importance of diet intake healthy and physical activity for weight reduction, disease control and complications. Highlights the need for attention to the potential of drug interactions and the use of medications inappropriate for the elderly.
