Abstract The unstoppable process of demographic aging of population has profound consequences on the economic, health, social and political spheres of society, because of the specific and diverse needs of the older population. The aim of the study was to examine gender differences of health care utilization among elderly in Serbia. The survey was conducted as a part of the national study “Health Survey of the Serbian population” in 2013. In the past year, 87.4% of the older population visited their chosen doctor. Women were significantly more likely to use primary health care compared to men, while the frequency of hospitalization is significantly higher in men. When it comes to female population, age, region of residence and financial situation stood out as the most important predictors of primary care services usage. In men, the residence stood out as the most important predictor of primary health care services usage. Multivariate binary logistic regression distinguishes gender, education and region of residence as the most important factors associated with hospital treatment.
