Are there any old people that don't have to take medicine?

Question

It seems like every old person I know has to take some kind of medication. Are there any old people that don't need any medication at all?

Answer 1

If there is, it is prolly only by choice, becasue our bodies begin to break down and they need medicine to keep them going

Answer 2

NO, THERE ARE NO OLD PEOPLE that do not take medicine .... but there are a lot of people over 60 that don't take medicine - they don't count though because they don't think that they are old

Answer 3

yes, as a matter a fact there are. i know one in particular. she is 94 years old. she does not wear any glasses, and the only thing she takes every night is a glass or two of red wine. she also eats raisins soaked in red wine. one spoon full a day. she take no meds at all.

Answer 4

Yeah...the dead ones!!! LOL

Actually....
There are older people who do not have to take medicine. However, a larger proportion of our older generation do take medications.

Actually, my 87 year old mother does not take any prescriptions...only a children's vitamin with iron. And my 91 year old dad only takes an 81mg. aspirin, one garlic capsule, and a vitamin E capsule. And both are doing basiclaly fine.
