Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the association of socioeconomic conditions, life habits, and health conditions to the family function of older adults assisted by a Family Health Team (FHT) in the city of Manhuaçu/Minas Gerais. Method: This is an analytical, cross-sectional, observational study carried out with 166 older adults assisted in an FHU, with data on their socioeconomic profile, lifestyle, and health conditions. The family function was assessed with the Apgar Family and classified as good family function or moderate/high dysfunction. The Chi-square test was applied. Results: Good function was found in 89.7% of the families. Age between 60-69 years, being married, having 3-4 children, not being a pensioner, and being independent were associated with good family function (p<0.05). Conclusion: Families have good function and socioeconomic and health conditions were associated with family function, which reinforces the importance of studying families in order to promote better aging in the population.
