increasing number of visits to health facilities, especially in elderly people
who tend to be in sick. This study aims to analyze the outpatient utilization
by elderly in South Sumatera region. Study design was cross-sectional.
Samples was elderly in South Sumatra (n = 2,833 people). Study done on
2016, using data from Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional (Susenas) at 2015. Data
analysis used chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. Based on the
study known that outpatient utilization of elderly in all health facilities
during the past month amounted to 29.2%. Providers selected when elderly
needed of outpatient treatment, most often visited to the doctor's
practice/midwife's practice (46.2%), and puskesmas (24.2%). Elderly who
has private health insurance have a tendency was 1.9 times greater (OR=1.9)
to utilize outpatient compared to elderly who do not have insurance. Its
concluded that variables associated with outpatient care utilization are:
health insurance membership (OR=1.9) and work activity (OR=1.5). It is
recommended for elderly to remain active in their activities so that they can
