The predominance was composed by females, 60 |- 70 years of age, married, 4|- 8 years of study, a minimum wage income, retired by age, a homemaker, satisfaction in meeting regular needs, full payout house owners living with their spouses. The lowest scores were associated to a greater number of morbidities, to the lack of education and to the minor age.
