Quality of life of elderly people is a subjective, broad and multifactorial concept resulting from the interaction of people who live in society undergoing changes, and from their community, intra- and extraindividual relationships. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the quality of life of elderly individuals vulnerable to frailty and that of frail elderly individuals who live in community. The probabilistic sample resulted in the participation of 131 elderly individuals living in 20 census sectors in the municipality of Joao Pessoa, state of Paraiba. Data were collected by means of home interviews, using an instrument containing sociodemographic questions so as to characterize the elderly and to identify self-reported health care problems, namely: Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS); WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-OLD. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The average age was 75.4 (SD = 7.7) years. Patients were predominantly female (74.0%), mulatto (45.0%), married (45.0%), illiterate (29.8%), family income 1-2 minimum wages (31.3%); prevalence of apparently vulnerable state to the fragility of the elderly (45.8%). The only area of quality of life to present statistically significant difference (p = 0.001) with the fragility of scores was physical. The knowledge of frailty levels favors the identification of risk groups, assisting to
