| Annotation | The Singapore Chinese Longitudinal Aging Study focuses on older people age 65+ living in their homes in Singapore. 2010 Chinese aged 65+ participated in the present study, by completing a questionnaire on Chinese herbal medicine use and related information. 25.3% of subjects reported using Chinese herbal medicines in the past year, among whom 52% supported concurrent use of Western prescription medications. Positive and negative psychosocial and health-related factors determine the use of Chinese herbal medicine as health supplements and complementary alternative medicine. (RH). |
