This is a qualitative study with a phenomenological design, the objective of which was to describe the social representations of old age in a group of elderly women in metropolitan Lima. A semi-structured in-depth interview was used as a data collection instrument. The research scenario was located in an association of hypertensive patients, with six elderly women. As a result of the research, it was found that older women adopt different beliefs from their close environment such as family members and children. Also, old age is seen as a stage of new opportunities, tranquility, abandonment, and physiological changes.
