This study aims to analyze the main causes of hospital admissions in the elderly population in the state of Roraima in 2019. This is a descriptive study, with a quantitative approach, using the database of the Hospital Information System of the Unified Health System. The highest frequency of hospitalization was of males (59.9%). The main causes of hospitalizations between women and men were similar, however, there was an inversion of the order of some causes. In both genders, diseases of the circulatory system and of the respiratory system were the most frequent, as their occurrence increases with age. These results can assist in health strategies and actions aimed at the elderly population, with attention to the management of chronic diseases that represent a long-term challenge.
