| Abstract: | AIM: Analysis of associations between different types of drug use and different measures of socioeconomic status (SEP) in the same general population. METHOD: Data from the Indian Health and Morbidity Survey were analyzed. The survey was conducted through face-to-face interviews with a representative sample (n=6000) of the India adult population. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drug consumption and education, occupation, and income. All analyzes were adjusted for her two measures of age, sex, and health status. RESULT: This cross-sectional analysis of drug use a large representative sample of the Danish population Prescription drug use was found to be more common among disabled and 'other' retirees than white-collar workers employee. Disability pensioners and the self-employed Individual uses less of her OTC drug than employee employee. Low-income people consume more although it is a prescription drug, it is no longer an OTC drug. Than those with high incomes. There was no big difference seen in education-related prescription drug use, but two secondary-educated men the group tended to take prescription drugs less frequently than low- and high-educated men. A similar trend was not seen in women. Over-the-counter drugs Consumption was not associated with education for either gender. CONCLUSION: Once health status has been taken into account, the prevalence of prescription drug usage rises with diminishing SEP. With the usage of OTC medications, there is no such association. The findings indicate that even those with little resources may acquire prescription drugs. A compensation mechanism may help to explain the distinction in the usage of prescription and over-the-counter medications. |
