Individuals taking medicines in Italy 2022, by gender and age
In 2022, nearly 42 percent of Italians took medicines in the last two days. This statistic breaks down this figure by gender and age of the population. As predictable, people older than 75 years registered the highest share of pharmaceutical drug use in both genders. Moreover, the share of female individuals taking medicines was larger than the one for male ones for almost all age groups, except for those aged 60 and 64 years and over 74 years.
