Background/Purpose
The world has gradually been turning eyes to the elderly population due to the increased life expectancy. This study aimed to trace the sociodemographic profile and to analyze health conditions among elderly individuals.
Methods
A transversal retrospective study was performed. Data were obtained using an administered questionnaire on sociodemographic and clinical features, diseases reported by the studied population, daily activities, and laboratory test results gathered from patients' medical records.
Results
In this study, 66.2% of the total patients were female; 74% had 4 years of primary education with a family income of up to three Brazilian minimum wages; 64.6% were retired; 27.8% had one or more morbidities. As much as 33.4% of the patients showed no difficulty in performing daily activities.
Conclusion
Understanding the profile of the senior population is of utmost importance so that public health programs may be carried out to meet the needs of these individuals.
