Depression is the most common psychiatric disorder in all age groups, being, in elderly, associated with more unusual signs and symptoms than in other ages, such as irritability, reduced functionality and slowed thinking. Questionnaires and scales can be used to screen symptoms in elderly, such as the Reduced Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15), by Yesavage. This is an observational, cross-sectional, study, carried out using the GDS-15 scale and applied to elderly residents in São Caetano do Sul-SP, Brazil, and registered at UBS Amélia Locatelli and at the University Ambulatorial Center of the University of São Caetano do Sul. The objective is to analyze the prevalence of depression in elderly people from that city and its associated factors, according to the GDS-15. The conclusion was that 41 (73.21%) of 56 participants had a normal psychological condition, 13 had mild depression and 2 had severe depression. The total prevalence of depression was 26.78%, being higher in elderly women than in men (Ratio=1,34). The most selected question (29 times) was “Have you dropped many of your interests and activities?”, followed by “Would you rather stay home than go out and do new things?”, selected 25 times. Thus, isolation and loneliness, indirectly assessed in questions 2 and 9, are factors that influence depression, selected in 12 of the 15 scales applied with positive results for depressive conditions, reinforcing the correlation between quarantine, imposed by the COVID-19, and the rise of depression in the elderly population, as suggested by other studies.
