SUMMARY:

INTRODUCTION: Aging is a natural, universal process that reduces functional activities and affects all individuals throughout life. It manifests itself in all dimensions, being more complex in the physiological, emotional, economic, sociological and interpersonal relationships, thus influencing social well-being. The real consequences of the aging process are directly linked to a set of factors that make adults experience different physiological changes. BACKGROUND: Faced with the increasing number of elderly people in the world each year, and the various changes in the aging process, the relevance of building strategies that meet all the social and health demands involving the elderly population was perceived. AIMS: To build an efficient education and health strategy to improve the functional capacity and motor performance of the elderly at the Irmã Ana Dias Basic Health Unit in the city of Caicó-RN. METHODOLOGY: This is a cross-sectional, exploratory study with a quantitative approach. The research is being developed in the perimeters of the Basic Unit of João XXIII in the city of Caicó-RN, involving elderly people aged 60 years or more, registered in primary health care. The Barthel Index is being used to assess an individual's functional capacity to carry out Basic Activities of Daily Living, and the Short Physical Performance Battery assessment is being used, which assesses physical performance through three tests: standing static balance in three positions; strength and power of the lower limbs through the movement of getting up and sitting down from the chair; and walking speed, at usual pace. EXPECTED RESULTS: It is expected that the results of this research will enable efficient strategic development so that the elderly population residing in the urban area of Caicó-RN can reach the appropriate levels to improve their functional capacity and motor performance, thus bringing benefits to their health, mitigating the deleterious effects of the aging process.
