Abstract:

Introduction: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use has been increasingly prevalent among Americans, whereas its relationship with medical nonadherence is unknown. Methods: Using the National Health Interview Survey, we evaluated the use of CAM modalities and their association with cost-related nonadherence to medical care (CRN) among older Americans by gender strata. Results: Men and women were, in general, in the same pattern of higher likelihood of reporting CRN if they utilized herbal supplements, meditation, and chiropractic or osteopathic manipulations (p < 0.05, respectively). Conclusion: Both men and women are more likely to report financial distress while using various CAM modalities.
