The growth of the aging population exceeds more than 30 million elderly people in Brazil from 2012 to 2017. In general, the aging phenomenon can be explained by the wear and tear of phenotypes in the body, and consequently, cause the loss of cognitive functions, physical and psychological aspects of the elderly. Aging is favorable to make them vulnerable and subject to a series of adverse health complications, such as chronic diseases, multimorbidities and even severe levels of frailty. The objective was to investigate the association of frailty and chronic diseases with sociodemographic factors in the elderly. This study is a qualitative, descriptive narrative review, using the PUBMED database, with the following descriptors: Chronic diseases, Multimorbidity, Aging, Elderly, Frailty, Sociodemographic. It was found that frailty, together with chronic diseases, had a prevalence in variables associated with advanced age, female sex, low level of education and marital status, it is worth noting that frailty can occur in the absence of chronic diseases. Adverse health conditions in the elderly community, such as frailty and chronic diseases, need policies aimed at combating them, considering the promotion, prevention and formulation of strategies in order to offer a better quality of life to the elderly.
