This article aims to analyze both the scientific production that deals with the maintenance of functional capacity in the elderly, as well as the one that deals with the possible health problems of this age group. To this end, an integrative review was performed; However, it was very difficult to find scientific literature for this age group. It can be observed that, in addition to the diseases that affect these elderly, psychosocial factors such as depression and isolation are responsible for the loss of autonomy and independence of this group.
