Abstract
We found that, in New Zealand, people do seem to use more of most health services in their last year of life than those of the same age who are not in their last year of life. However, as they advance in age, particularly after the age of 90, this difference diminishes for most measures, although it is still substantial for days spent in hospital as an inpatient, and for pharmaceutical dispensings.
