The social and demographic profile, health and social conditions of elderly people aged 80 or more are analyzed in current quantitative, descriptive and transversal study evaluating the socio-demographic profile (12 items), health (15 items) and social conditions (4 items) of 58 elderly people aged 80, through a structured questionnaire with 31 items. Results showed that sample comprised predominantly females (68.96%), widows (62.06%), aged 80-89 years (79.31%), with basic schooling (89.63%) and retired (75.86%). They owned their own house (65.51%); they had children or grandchildren (89.65%); they were Catholics (84.48%); they had a health care plan (58.62%); they featured eye problems (72.41%) and employed corrective devices (72.41%). Most had systemic arterial hypertension (55.17%), they used hypotension drugs (55.17%); they made regular visits to the doctor (63.79%); underwent physiotherapy (53.44%), practiced physical exercises (65.11%) and classified their health status as fair or good (43.10%). The social and demographic profile and the health and social conditions of eighty-year-old people may contribute towards in-depth studies on this category. It is an issue of public health due to the growing population involved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
