ABSTRACT
Introduction: Aging is characterized as a process that occurs gradually and causes
physiological changes at the molecular level, behavioral and social changes. These changes
are intensified when the elderly person is exposed to vulnerability factors that precede the
frailty syndrome. Objective: To analyze the association between vulnerability and the social
and health conditions of the elderly in the context of primary care in the central-west region of
Minas Gerais. Method: This is a cross-sectional, analytical study with a quantitative
approach. Performed steps: sample calculation; Training of researchers for data collection and
approval by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP) of the Federal University of São João Del
Rei. CAAE: 36278120.0.2013.5545. Data collection took place from July to December 2022,
in the city of Divinópolis-MG, in the Primary Health Care (PHC) care units, upon signing the
Free and Informed Consent Form (TCLE). Inclusion criteria were: being 60 years old or
older, being a user of APS units and scoring 17 on the Mini Mental State Examination
(MMSE). Elderly people with a medical diagnosis of mental or physical disability, which
made it impossible to carry out the proposed tests, were excluded. Data were recorded in an
Excel table, organized and analyzed using the Statistical Software Statistical Package for the
Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0. A significance level of 5% and confidence intervals of
95% were considered for all analyses. Results: 150 elderly people participated in the study,
the majority 62.67% female, in a stable relationship (57.33%), retired (66.00%) and with
incomplete primary education (66.67%). A strong association was identified between
vulnerability and the increased prevalence of comorbidities and frailty syndrome.
Conclusion: The study made it possible to analyze the association between vulnerability and
the social health conditions of the elderly in primary care in the central-west region of Minas
Gerais. Strengthening evidence to aid in the assessment of multifunctional elderly people in
primary health care.
