ABSTRACT
Introduction: aging begins when the body reaches its maximum functional capacity, it is a heterogeneous and irreversible process that represents a great challenge for socio-sanitary services worldwide. Objective: to characterize the elderly treated in the emergency service of the “Mártires del Corynthia” Polyclinic. Methods: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional investigation was carried out in the emergency service of the "Mártires del Corynthia" Polyclinic from January to March 2022. The universe was made up of 130 adults over 60 years of age, who agreed to participate in research; fully worked. Descriptive statistics were used. Results: the ages between 70 and 79 years (44.6%) and the female sex (77.7%) predominated, as well as the twelfth grade of schooling (28.5%) and the elderly who lived with other people (87 .7%). Arterial hypertension was the most frequent disease present in 86 patients. Of those surveyed, 108 did not exercise, 86 did not drink and 78 did not smoke. Most of the people who drank did so occasionally (84.1%), while those who smoked more frequently consumed less than 10 cigarettes per day (44.2%). Conclusions: the characterization of the elderly, as a comprehensive geriatric assessment, allows to treat the problems in the elderly with efficiency and effectiveness. Patients older than 70 years and females predominated in the population. Most of them had a twelfth grade education and a high percentage lived with another person.REFERENCES
