Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study included older adults aged ≥ 60 years, based on a secondary analysis of public data from a nationally representative survey called the Family Budget Survey.The data were disaggregated according to the 5 regions of the country and associated with sociodemographic and economic characteristics. Analyses of categorical and numerical variables and their associations were performed using multinomial logistic regression. Results: Among all participants in the Family Budget Survey, 26 199 (15%) were older adults. The southeast and south regions were found to had better living conditions and higher proportions of older adults. Regarding race, the southern region had the highest proportion of self-declared Whites, the southeastern region had the highest mean education level, and the northern and northeastern regions had the lowest levels of education and household income. Conclusions: The results suggest that the aging process is heterogeneous due to marked regional inequalities, which are related to social issues. Regional differences can be determinant in socioeconomic and demographic inequalities among the older population. 2022 artículo científico 2447-2115 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=739780783014 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7397 Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologia Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.16
