A prevalence of 62.09% of polypharmacy and 66.01% of functional dyspepsia was determined. In addition, regarding the pharmacological groups used, antihypertensives (41.83%), hypolipidemics (35.29%) and hypoglycemics (30.07%) were the most frequent. Arterial hypertension (41.18%) followed by diabetes mellitus (28.76%) and neurological diseases (17.65%) were the most frequent clinical conditions in older adults.
