Introduction: In developing countries, like Brazil, the demographic transition is characterized by a progressive increase in the number of elderly. Prevalent diseases are chronic degenerative diseases of low mortality and high disability. Functional capacity is defined as the physical and mental ability to maintain an independent and autonomous life. One of the most commonly used instruments to evaluate the functional capacity is the index of independence in activities of daily living (Katz Index). Aging as well as the demographic, socioeconomic and health factors influence this ability. Objective: The study objective is to evaluate the functional capacity of the elderly in Barbacena-MG and to correlate this fact to the presence of comorbid...
