Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı nitelikteki bu çalışma kesitsel bir çalışmadır ve Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi'nde 30 Aralık 2016-01 Mart 2017 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 185 yaşlı katılımcı rastgele örneklem yöntemi ile Türkiye'deki bir üniversite hastanesinesinin geriatri kliniğinden seçilmiş ve yapılandırılmış görüşmelere katılmıştır. Veriler, geriatrik bireylerden bir anket formu ile yüz yüze görüşmelerle toplanmıştır. Veriler, sayı, yüzde ve ki-kare testi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Bireylerin çoğu kadın (%56,2) olup, %15,7'si bitkisel takviyelerden en az birini kullandığını bildirmiştir. Bireylerin yaş ortalaması 76,24±8,22 (min.63-max.98) yıl idi. En çok kullanılan bitkiler ısırgan otu (%13,8) ve çörek otu yağı (%10,3) idi. Demografik özelliklerde, bitkisel ürün kullanan ve kullanmayanlar arasında fark bulunmadı. Bitkisel ürün kullananlar ve kullanmayanlar arasında yaşanılan yere göre anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur, bitkisel ürün kullanan bireylerin çoğu il merkezinde yaşamaktadır. Bitkisel ürün kullanımının yaşlı kadınlar arasında daha yaygın olduğunu tespit ettik (bitkisel ürünler kullananların %69'u yaşlı kadın kişilerdir).
