    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to investigate possible differences in care complexity, functional performance and biopsychosocial and health system aspects among hospitalized elderly with or without cognitive decline.

    Method:

    quantitative, cross-sectional and analytical study in which was used the INTERMED method and cognitive and functional screening scales. We investigated 384 elderly patients admitted to a medical and surgical clinic of a University Hospital located in São Paulo/SP.

    Results:

    cognitive decline was present in 40.1% of the sample, most of them were longer-lived elderly individuals with less schooling and income, more dependent in activities of daily living and had greater vulnerability in different domains of INTERMED. After adjustments, the elderly with cognitive decline presented greater vulnerability in the psychological domain.

    Conclusion:

    the relationship between cognitive decline and psychological vulnerability highlights the need to adopt long-term care based on involvement of the family, health team and different services, thereby maximizing the quality of care.
