摘要：Objective: To identify the cognitive profile and health conditions of elderly participants in a Living Center for the Elderly in the city of Campina Grande/PB. Methodology: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach.

Results: There was a predominance of females 60.7%, aged between 70 and 79 years old 35.7%, widowers 44.7%, one to four years of schooling 53.6%, 83.9% lived together. Regarding self-reported morbidities, systemic arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus stood out.
