A dominant property of an elderly population is the presence of chronic disease. Regarding to this condition, the therapeutic treatment of aged people is basically through the pharmacologic treatment. The usage of potentially inappropriate medicines (PIM) by elderly people becomes an uncongenial factor. The main objective of this study was to identify associations among the usage of PIM by elderly people living in urban and rural areas and their residency area, health conditions, habits and functional capacity. This was a transversal study, which belongs to a population based study that analyzed habits and health conditions of elderly populations from urban and rural areas of Estação – RS.
