This study aims to evaluate the overload of family caregivers. Analyzing the relationship between the degree of dependence of the dependent elderly and the level of overload of family caregivers is important to reflect on the importance of informal support. It is in the family that the first line of support is found, where the constant provision of care leads to an increase in the burden on caregivers, causing different problems and needs.Keywords: Dependent elderly; Family Caregivers; Overload.
