Abstract
To analyze different ways of presenting medical information to older adults, tailoring the information and its presentation to the characteristics of memory function in old age.Experimental study. We took into account the following variables: amount of information, type of information and mode of presentation, and time delay.The greater the number of recommendations, the lower the recall; visual presentation does not enhance verbal presentation; lifestyle information is recalled better than medication information; after ten minutes the percentage of memory decreases significantly; the first and last recommendations are better remembered.As a whole, these findings show that older adults remember more medical information when very few recommendations are provided in each session.It is inadvisable to overload older adults with a large amount of information: It is better to program more consultations and provide less information.
