The aim of the study was to assess patterns of the use of medicines by the general population older than 0 years. The study was based on the information contained in the computerized database from the 1993 Spanish Household Health Survey. A representative sample of the population older than 0 was identified, and a survey of 26,334 persons was carried out. Of the population 45.3% had taken some medicine in the last 2 weeks prior to the carrying out of the survey. The proportion was greater for women (50.6%) than for men (39.6%). With increasing age, the frequency and amount of medication use increased. A little over 20% of the medicines used were not prescribed by a doctor (self-medication). Data show the frequency of the use of medicines by the Spanish population.
该研究的目的是评估0岁以上普通人群的用药模式。该研究基于1993年西班牙家庭健康调查计算机数据库中的信息。确定了0岁以上人群的代表性样本，并对26334人进行了调查。在接受调查前的最后两周内，45.3%的人群服用过某种药物。女性的这一比例（50.6%）高于男性（39.6%）。随着年龄的增长，用药频率和用药量都有所增加。略超过20%的用药并非医生处方用药（自我药疗）。数据显示了西班牙人群的用药频率。
