American Society

There is no dearth of speculation about the use and misuse of drugs among older persons in American society. Scattered reports have indicated that the elderly increasingly use and misuse a wide variety of drugs, and in very recent years much public attention and concern has been directed toward this problem in the older population. Factual information, however, particularly incidence of use and factors related to elderly drug misuse, is scarce. This paper presents both a review of the relevant literature and a summation of available research evidence with particular reference to patterns of use of legal drugs, the types and extent of misuse of legal drugs, and the issue of illegal drug abuse by the elderly. Conclusions are provided as to what is known at this time regarding elderly drug use and misuse as well as some suggestions regarding future research that might contribute to an understanding of drug-using behavior among the elderly.

Number Of Factors

Women generally receive lower pensions than men, and research on gender and pensions has identified a number of factors underlying this pattern. The present article examines one factor that has largely gone unnoticed—synchronized retirement. In most married couples, the husband is older than his wife, yet many couples prefer to retire together. At the same time, pension systems are increasingly designed to discourage early retirement and reward late retirement. If younger wives and older husbands tend to synchronize their retirement, this may reinforce gendered income inequalities among older persons. Analyses of register data on Swedish married couples provide empirical support for this argument. Comparisons of their pre- and postretirement incomes show that women who synchronized retirement with their husbands had, in relative terms, lower postretirement incomes than other women, whereas men who synchronized had higher postretirement incomes than other men.

Prescription Drug Insurance

OBJECTIVE: To describe existing prescription drug insurance coverage for older Americans, to describe out-of-pocket payment levels per prescription associated with service benefit prescription drug plans used by older persons, and to examine the association of prescription drug coverage types with the reported use of prescription drugs by older persons. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data were obtained from a national survey of 1570 community-dwelling older persons (≥65 y) conducted in June 1998. A 2-part utilization model was estimated using logistic regression and ordinary least-squares regression. RESULTS: Data from 310 respondents were used for analysis. Overall, 66.1% of respondents reported having prescription drug insurance coverage. A majority (76.6%) of respondents having private drug coverage reported having a service benefit plan (requiring copayment or coinsurance amount to be paid for each prescription). The median copayment per brand name and generic prescription for persons reporting having coverage by service benefit plans was $10 and $5, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, a majority of older persons reported paying relatively small amounts out-of-pocket per prescription during 1998. Among persons who reported having drug insurance coverage, there were no statistically significant differences in the reported number of drugs used daily, regardless of out-of-pocket payment amount per prescription. Patient need and level of past drug use were significantly associated with both the likelihood of using any prescription drugs and the level of use among users. More research is needed to examine differences in drug expenditures and characteristics of drugs used across prescription drug insurance types for older persons.
