da pessoa idosa, estando essa susceptível a piora na qualidade de vida. Objetivo:
Avaliar a qualidade de vida dos idosos da microárea (bairro) Itapéua, no município

casados, aposentados, usufruindo de uma renda mensal de R$ 500,00 a 1000,00,
convivendo regularmente e possuindo um elevado número de filhos e netos. A
Qualidade de Vida Global se relacionou significantemente à idade, escolaridade,
ocupação, dificuldade de locomoção e à presença de doenças crônicas. A dimensão
Relações Sociais apresentou relação com idade, escolaridade, estado civil, convívio,
dificuldade de locomoção, presença de doença crônica e acesso às tecnologias, a
dimensão Bem-Estar Psicológico apresentou relação com escolaridade, ocupação e
número de netos, a dimensão Sentidos apresentou relação com acesso às

dimensões Doenças e Vida Independente. Conclusão: Observaram-se valores
intermediários nas 5 dimensões (Doença, Vida Independente, Relações Sociais,
Sentidos e Bem-Estar Psicológico) e na Qualidade de Vida Global, o que requer
