Objective: to analyze the sociodemographic and health factors related to multidimensional frailty in elderly people living at home. Method: cross-sectional study that evaluated 300 elderly people enrolled in a Health Unit in the north of Portugal through a form. The sociodemographic and health conditions of the elderly were analyzed and the Tilburg Frailty Index, Falls Efficacy Scale International 7 items, Barthel Index and Lawton and Brody Scale were applied. Results: sample (81.34±6.748 years) mostly female (60.33%) and married (58%). The prevalence of frailty was 60.33%, correlating with gender, marital status, self-perceived health status, pathological history, polymedication, falls, fear of falling and a higher level of dependence. Conclusion: multidimensional frailty is a prevalent condition, and when the predictive factors in primary health care are analyzed early, it is possible to intervene in order to delay this syndrome.
