Resumo: dc.description.abstractWith the increase in the number of elderly people, diseases typical of this age group will be more frequent, including dementia. This work aims to identify the epidemiological profile of dementia in the Balneário Camboriú Elderly Care Center (NAI). Because NAI serves this specific population, it is a rich setting for collecting data on the prevalence of diseases in the elderly. Services from 2016 to 2019 were quantified, looking for the number of cases of dementia treated and the prevalence of each subtype of dementia, degree of involvement, associated diseases and therapies instituted. A high prevalence of dementia was found among the pathologies treated at the NAI neurology service, the main one being Alzheimer's disease. The most relevant comorbidities found were systemic arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes and mental disorders. Although most patients have mild dementia and have access to drug treatment, non-drug supportive therapies are not typically available. These data emphasize the need for greater attention when implementing future health policies.pt_BR
