Araştırma kronik hastalığı olan yaşlılarda vitamin ve minerallerin kullanım özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla tanımlayıcı, kesitsel türde yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklem grubunu Kırşehir il merkezinde bulunan bir Aile Sağlığı Merkezi’nde kayıtlı 260 yaşlı birey oluşturmuştur. Veriler sayı, yüzde ve ortalama olarak özetlenmiş, değerlendirmelerde Ki-kare analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan yaşlı bireylerin yaş ortalaması 69,0±3,83 olup %51,2’si kadındır. Yaşlıların %32,3’ü vitamin ve mineralleri, %12,3’ü mineralleri, %20,0’ı ise vitaminleri kullanmaktadır. Yaşlıların kullandıkları mineraller sırasıyla Kalsiyum (%37,5), Magnezyum (%25,0), Demir (%12,5) ve Çinko (%12,5)’dur. Yaşlıların kullandıkları vitaminler ise sırasıyla C vitamini (%44,2), D vitamini (%30,8) ve B12 vitaminidir (%25,0). Yaşlıların %12,5’i mineralleri, %13,8’i ise vitaminleri reçetesiz kullanmaktadır. Vitamin ve mineralleri kullanan bu yaşlıların %18,5’i hastalıklardan korunmak, %13,8’i ise hastalıkların tedavisi için kullanmaktadır. Sağlık personeline danışarak vitamin ve mineralleri kullanma oranı yaşlılarda %23,1’dir. Kadın, bekar, hayatının uzun bir bölümünü ilçe, kasaba, köyde geçiren, sağlık durumunu kötü algılayan, çalışmayan, sağlık kurumuna ulaşımda sorun yaşamayan yaşlı bireylerin mineral kullanma oranları yüksek olarak belirlenmiştir (p<0,05). Yaşlı bireylerden evli olanların bekar olanlara göre ve çalışmayanların çalışanlara göre vitaminleri kullanma oranları yüksek olarak belirlenmiştir (p<0,05). Yaşlıların vitamin ve mineralleri kullanmadaki en önemli sorunları reçetesiz ve sağlık personeline danışarak kullanmaları olmuştur. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda yaşlıların vitamin ve mineralleri akılcı kullanımı konusunda farkındalık kazandırılması gerekmektedir.
