Functionality profiles related to mortality in elders assisted in a Geriatric Outpatient ServiceAbstract: This study intended to evaluate the functional profile of the elderly in the Geriatric Outpatient Clinic of the Hospital of the State University of Campinas, correlating it with the occurrence of death.

The mean age was 76.81 (±7.56) years; 66.7% were women; 63.33% were independent for ADL and 68.33% were dependent for IADL; 31.67% presented depressive symptoms; 30% presented cognitive impairment; 56.67% reported difficulty of remembering recent events; 83.33% had no difficulty remembering ancient events; 6.67% died within one year.
