摘要：Objective: To identify the prevalence of depression in the elderly attended by the Family Health Strategy (FHS), and to identify the associated factors as well. Methods: transversal study with 151 elderly who live in the area registered in the FHS in Passo Fundo, RS. Data were collected through a structural questionnaire and Geriatric Depression Scale GDS-15. Results: 33.1% are male, aging predominantly from 60 to 69 years old, average schooling level 4.14 years of study (DP: 2.63), 8.2% are illiterate or semi-illiterate, 21.9% declared some depressive episode and 2.6% declared other psychiatric illness. There was association between depression and health perception, family lost, asthma, fracture occurrence, cardiac insufficiency, and arthritis (p < 0.01). Conclusions: the results showed that the prevalence of depression in the elderly in the studied FHS was of 21.2%, from which 17.9% were diagnosed with mild to moderate depression, and 3.3% with severe depression, who are in need of integral and multidisciplinary interventions aiming at the reduction of the associated factors and at the qualification of their lives.
