Introduction: The prevention of chronic diseases of the elderly population characteristics involves the control of modifiable risk factors through changes in lifestyle inadequate.Objective: Analyze the Elderly Population Profile of the municipality of Goiânia, including the relationship between glucose, lipid profile components and style of life. Methods: The target population consisted of 220 elderly, noninstitutionalized who provided data on weight, height, lifestyle, and self-reported diseases, which responded to the SF-36 questionnaire and whose blood was collected to perform fasting and lipid profile. Results: From the data analysis it was found that 61.36 % of the elderly (135/220) were female. Only 25.9 % (57 /220) reported the practice of at least one physical activity; 7.72 % (17 /220) were taking lipid-lowering. The median total cholesterol was 195.5 mg/ dL; HDL-cholesterol was 40 mg/dL and triglycerides of 145 mg/dL. The mean total cholesterol of 17 seniors who were taking lipid-lowering was 161.1 mg/dL, HDL-cholesterol of 42.4 mg/dL and triglycerides, 161.3 mg/dL. BMI was ≥ 30 to 12.2 % (27 /220) of the elderly, with a median concentration of triglycerides was 181 mg/dL, while for those with BMI<30 (n=184) the median was 144mg/dL (48.0 to 491.0 SD=79.8) (p > 0.05). The frequency of hyperglycemia was 13.60% (30/220) and 16.5% (36/220) had intermediate hyperglycemia. The ingestion of alcohol interfered with blood sugar of the elderly (p < 0.05). Obese and elderly had low physical activity self-reported diabetes more often than elderly males (p < 0.05). Regarding quality of life according to the SF-36 questionnaire self-reported diabetes influenced the social aspects of the elderly. Obese elderly had harmed the emotional aspects and older who smoked improperly presented complications for mental health (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The results indicate that both hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia in elderly reach levels that demonstrate the need for immediate intervention by means of promoting public health policies, the city studied, both in health care and in taking preventive measures aimed at comprehensive approach to risk factors for these diseases and thereby improving the quality of life.
