本文探讨了老年人的社会支持系统，特别是在巴西马托格罗索杜索州多拉多斯市由家庭健康策略服务的老年人群体。研究显示，大部分受访者为女性，教育程度较低，收入不高，且主要与他人同住。家庭在提供照护方面起着关键作用，但老年人的社会支持网络相对较小，无法充分满足他们的需求。
摘要：
The aging process has specific aspects marked by the class of individuals and social groups as well as cultural, political, socio-econom- ic and sanitary conditions of the collective groups. Social support systems are essential for meeting the specific needs of the elderly. The aim of this paper is to describe the socio-demographic profile and the social support networks of elderly patients served by the Family Health Strategy. It's a cross- sectional study with elderly patients living in Dourados, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (Bra- zil). Data were collected using a socio-demograph- ic questionnaire and a Minimum Relationships Map for the Elderly (MMRI). Of the 503 elderly patients interviewed, 69% were female, 53.1% were illiterate, 58.3% earned less than one mini- mum salary and 82.9% lived with others. The MMRI showed that the family was the most im- portant provider of care in all the dimensions assessed, but the elderly have their own small so- cial networks. Elderly patients attended by the Family Health teams have low incomes and little formal education, and social support networks that are too small to meet their needs.Key words Social support, Elderly, Family Health care
