The care for the elderly person has the challenge of providing a more active lifestyle, trying to minimize progressive limitations that may occur during the aging process, and so make an improvement in their life quality. The Unidade de Saúde da Família (USF), similar to Family Plan, of João Pessoa’s city/Brazil, do health promotion and prevention work through thematic groups, among which we can highlight the elderly groups. The objectives of this research are: to characterize the scientific productions that approach the theme, published in online periodicals from 2010 to 2015; and identify the topics covered in these studies. This study resulted in several contributions in the health care of the elderly in the USFs units. However, due to the difficulty in finding articles with this theme, and having none in the last two years, it is suggested that further research be done to show the importance of the theme to all society.
