Objectives: To determine the frequency of systemic pathologies in patients aged 65 years or more, who require  oral care and possibly oral surgery.  Study Design: We carried out a cross-sectional descriptive study reviewing 3,388 medical histories for patients  from the Department of Medicine and Oral Surgery of the School of Dentistry at the Complutense University of  Madrid, who had requested surgical treatment. Those selected were at least 65 years of age or more, and were  grouped according to their medical histories into categories of pathologies, which include: systemic, cardiovascular,  digestive, respiratory, endocrine-metabolic, genitourinary, osteoarticular, nervous system and the sensory  organs.  Results: Patients over the age of 65 most commonly present cardiovascular and digestive pathologies, which represent  values of 30.8% and 13.75%, respectively. The rest of the systemic pathologies analyzed were categorized  according to frequency, as follows: endocrino-metabolic pathologies 6.66%, respiratory pathologies 6.25%, genitourinary  pathologies 3.75%, osteoarticular pathologies 2.91%, and pathologies of the nervous system and sensory  organs 2.08%.  Conclusions: The demand for surgical treatments by third age patients was relatively low, representing 2.18%.  However, the presence of systemic pathologies was constant, and therefore, the anamnesis and patient medical  history are fundamental for any surgical treatment
