estimate the prevalence and identify factors associated with the use of health services by men between 20 and 59 years of age.
population-based, cross-sectional domestic survey undertaken with 421 adult men, selected through systematic random sampling. The data were collected through a structured instrument and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with multiple logistic regression.
the prevalence rate of health service use during the three months before the interviews was 42.8%, being higher among unemployed men with a religious creed who used private hospitals more frequently, had been hospitalized in the previous 12 months and referred some disease.
the prevalence of health service use by adult men does not differ from other studies and was considered high. It shows to be related with the need for curative care, based on the associated factors found.
评估20至59岁男性使用卫生服务的患病率，并确定与之相关的因素。
基于人群的横断面国内调查，对421名成年男性进行调查，通过系统随机抽样选取。数据通过结构化工具收集，并使用描述性和推断性统计以及多重逻辑回归进行分析。
访谈前三个月卫生服务的使用率为42.8%，在有宗教信仰、更频繁使用私立医院、过去12个月内曾住院且患有某种疾病的失业男性中更高。
成年男性使用卫生服务的患病率与其他研究无异，且被认为较高。根据所发现的相关因素，这表明与治疗护理需求有关。
