Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of depression in elderly living in the shelter ' Christ the Redeemer' , in Jaboatão dos Guararapes, Pernambuco. A descriptive study was conducted in September and October 2006, with individuals aged 60 years or more. The sample consisted of 55 elderly, who answered the 30 questions of the Scale of Geriatric Depression of Yesavage. Analysis of variance of the prevalence of depression symptoms between both sexes was conducted. Depression was identified in 28 individuals (51%), 18 males (64,2%) and 10 females (35,7%). We recommend the creation of a new scale, simpler and easier to understand for patients with lower cognitive level.
