Abstract
Se realiza un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo para evaluar la fragilidad del anciano solo en las cuatro Áreas de Salud del municipio Pinar del Río en el año 2006, analizando las condiciones socioeconómicas de estos ancianos, la morbilidad de los mismos, los ingresos en los últimos 12 meses, y su necesidad de asistencia médica y social. Para el estudio se dividen en ancianos solos, atendidos por la familia y ancianos solos no atendidos o desamparados. Se encontró una mayor prevalencia de ancianos solos en las edades de 60 - 75 años en las zonas urbanas y del sexo femenino. Se aprecio una mayor tendencia a las enfermedades Cardiovasculares, Cerebro vasculares, Hipertensión Arterial, Diabetes Mellitus y Cáncer. Más del 30% de los ancianos tienen necesidades socioeconómicas. Los resultados finales del estudio sugieren un modelo específico para cada localidad con el fin de una mejor atención al anciano solo.
