Factors influencing healthcare use among poor older females under the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty programme in Atwima Nwabiagya District, Ghana.

The fully adjusted model showed that respondents aged 85-89 years (AOR = 0.007, CI 0.001-0.958), those without past illness records (AOR = 0.027, CI 0.002-0.346) and not diagnosed of chronic non-communicable diseases (AOR = 0.003, CI 0.001-0.313) were significantly less likely to utilise a health facility compared with their respective counterparts. Non-vegetables consumers (AOR = 1.2, CI 0.23-2.45) were found to be more likely to utilise healthcare services. These findings have implications for policies towards healthcare use among poor older females in developing countries including Ghana.
