Were selected 69 elderly women, from the application of the instrument of Brazilian Economic Classification (CCEB) in 301 elderly people that lives in the scope of the FHP. The health condition of the elderly women was evaluated using the Wide Geriatric Evaluation (WGE), that involves the functional, emotional social, and of the environment aspects.
