Abstract

Aims: to describe the cognitive and psychiatric clinical profile of older adults from primary care who are seen at a specialized outpatient clinic of a university hospital.
Methods: this was a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study, prospectively collected from a sample of the elderly population (60 years or older) enrolled in the Family Health Strategy of the city of Porto Alegre and treated at a specialized outpatient clinic of a university hospital during the study period. July 2015 to July 2016. The variables analyzed were sociodemographic (gender, age, education), clinical (psychiatric diagnosis) and cognitive assessment (Addenbrooke Cognitive Examination - revised version, ACE-R). The research protocol was approved by the Research Ethics Committees and all participants signed the Informed Consent Form.
Results: 256 individuals with a mean age of 70.8 ± 7.1 years were evaluated, mostly women (77.7%) and with 4 to 7 years of study (32.2%). Of these 54.3% had some cognitive impairment and 43.4% were classified as having dementia through the ACE-R assessment.
Conclusions: the cognitive and clinical psychiatric profile of the study participants showed that in the normal group, the elderly were younger and more educated and in the dementia group the individuals were older, less educated and diagnosed with depression.
