Abstract

The increasing proportion of elderly patients in most clinical practices has stimulated considerable interest in the factors influencing drug treatment of the aged. “Use of medicaments by the elderly” was selected as a topic of priority concern by a committee which met in 1978 to advise the World Health Organisation’s Regional Office for Europe on a programme of cooperation with Member States designed to advance the well-being of elderly citizens.
