Abstract:

We conducted a systematic literature review with analytics epidemiologic studies about associated factors with health services utilization by elderly men. Were utilized four data base: Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science and Lilacs and the following descriptors “health services”, “health services for the aged”, “aged”, “aged, 80 and over”, “men” and “men’s health” and their correspondents in Portuguese. It was found 1782 articles, after independent reading ion of the abstracts and full texts, eight were included in this review. The Health Services Utilization model guided the results presentation. Were identified as predispose associated factors with to the use: place of residence, living habits, age range, family history, education and marital status; training factors: private health services utilization and health insurance possession; lastly, factors of need: perception of health status, perceived susceptibility to stress, medical history, comorbidities, and functional status. The issue of the aging of the male population is still poorly studied and deserves special attention to recognize how older men express their needs and how they are being absorbed by health care systems.
