SUMMARY:

Population aging has not always been synonymous with living well and healthy, since among older people the progression of chronic diseases is sometimes debilitating. They may live in long-term care institutions for the elderly (LTCF) or in a community, which covers all those whose fixed domicile is not LTCFs. In this context, anemia has gained space for research due to its correlation with frequent pathologies in geriatrics. In order to contribute to the discussion of the problem, this dissertation presents the original article of a cross-sectional study whose objective was to evaluate the frequency and factors associated with anemia in the elderly living in a community in the state of Alagoas. The sample was of a non-probabilistic nature for convenience of the macroproject I Diagnostico Alagoano de Saúde, Nutrição e Qualidade de vida da Pessoa idosa. Elderly people of both sexes living in Alagoas were included. Sociodemographic and economic data, health conditions and habits were collected through home visits, as well as physical-functional evaluations and blood samples were collected for the diagnosis of anemia and the nutritional status of the micronutrient were described. the sample consisted of 423 (67.80%) women, with a mean age of 71 years (±8.5 SD; Md: 70), predominantly black people (n = 474; 77.10%), with low schooling (n = 416; 68.8%). The prevalence of anemia was 15.20% (n = 95) and, after regression analysis, it was associated with age (OR = 1.06; p 0.02), inadequate calf circumference (OR = 4.29; p < 0.01) and iron kinetics (iron: OR = 2.45; p = 0.04; ferritin: OR = 5.28; p = 0.04). The findings corroborate the risk of anemia in the elderly and the need to expand research on its occurrence, as well as the repercussions on the health of this population in the community.
