Objective: To analyze the occurrence of anxiety and depression symptoms in older adults treated in Primary Health Care. Method: This is a cross-sectional and non-probabilistic study carried out with 171 older adults aged 60-94 years old treated in a Primary Health Care unit. The aged individuals answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) and the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI). Results: The results show high prevalence of the symptoms in females (72.5%). In addition to that, it was identified that older adults aged 60-69 years old and with low schooling levels present higher levels of “depression symptoms”. “Being divorced” and “low schooling” were factors associated with “anxiety symptoms” in older adults. Conclusion: The sociodemographic factors have proved to be quite influential in the occurrence of depression and anxiety symptoms among older adults.
