SUMMARY:

Population aging is a reality all over the world, but specifically in Latin America this process has been happening more noticeably since the 60s/70s of the 20th century. In addition to the demographic issue, the aging process leads to an increase in chronic illnesses, as well as greater social and economic fragility. These aspects make elderly people more vulnerable to chronic diseases, deficiencies, hospitalizations and the use of polypharmacy. Anemia Anemia is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the condition in which the hemoglobin content in the blood is below normal as a result of a lack of one or more essential nutrients. Therefore, this dissertation aims to determine the prevalence of anemia and associated factors in elderly people. This is an excerpt from the I Alagoan Diagnosis on Health, Nutrition and Quality of Life of the Elderly Population, a project arising from the PPSUS Notice. This is a cross-sectional study with a cluster sample in the state of Alagoas. The research was carried out at home and involved the application of sociodemographic, health and quality of life instruments in addition to anthropometic assessment, medication use and collection of samples for biochemical analyzes that consisted of Glycemia, Fasting Glycemia, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Iron, Ferritin , Vitamin D among others. In this research we identified 65.5% of elderly women, and the average age of the sample was 72.0 (SD=9.1) years. A prevalence of hemolytic anemia of around 15% was identified, well above the national average, which is around 9%. 82.6% used some type of medication chronically, of these 19.74% used 5 or more medications concomitantly.
