Résumé
This study examined social characteristics and their relations to healthcare service demand among older adults during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. The sample was based on a cohort of 103,955 adults over the age of 65. A general index of needs was composed based on healthcare service use data and was predicted in a multi-nominal logistic regression. The frequency of the total needs significantly (p < 0.000) declined while supportive community services (4.9%, 2.0%), living in a community framework (27.0%, 15.2%), and living in a private residence (29.7%, 20.1%) were significantly associated (p < 0.000) with less frequent needs compared to the complementary groups. Supportive communities turned out to be an extremely important service for older adults. Policy makers should consider expanding supportive community services for older adults, as it was shown to have a positive correlation with lower healthcare service use, which might be an indicator of better overall health.
