This is a cross-sectional analytical study conducted with 705 urban elderly in Uberaba/Minas Gerais. Were used: structured instrument related to socioeconomic data, Katz, Lawton and Brody scales and Fried Fragility Phenotype; and questionnaire from the National Survey by Domicile Sample for access and use of health services. The procedure was the descriptive and logistic regression analysis (p<0.05). It was found that 86.2% accessed the same place or the same doctor when they needed care; 86.5% consulted a doctor in the last 12 months; 85.2% were using continuous medication, from this 40.4% received part of their medicines; and those who did not receive all medications, 86.1% effected the purchase. Most went to the dentist last three years or more (54.2%) while 21.7% for less than one year, and 16.9% used health services in the two weeks preceding the interview. Polypharmacy (OR: 2.88; p=0.026) and the perception of negative health (OR: 1.89; p=0.009) were consolidated as factors associated with the use of health services. The knowledge of standard consumption and related factors enables the service organization as the presented characteristics.
