Abstract

Vulnerability is a broad concept, complex, multidimensional and multidetermined expressed by biopsychosocial dimensions. To think vulnerability in old age calls analyze social, individual and biological resources in constantly interacting, describing the types of responses that older people will produce about the events of life. The reflection of this theme can encourage the creation of programs, services and interventions targeted to the profile of the elderly population.
