The health system should be able to identify older people with greater attention needs in order to foregone as much as possible the loss of functional capacity. This study describes the findings obtained by the application of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment to a group of people over 65 years old linked to a health plan, living in the city of São Paulo. The studied group had a high age average, a predominance of women and injuries that caused important impairment of their functional capacity.
