O objeto do estudo foi o conhecimento de idosos sobre as ações do Estatuto do Idoso. Os objetivos foram
caracterizar o perfil dos idosos do Município de Cabo Frio-RJ e verificar os fatores condicionantes de seu acesso às ações destinadas à terceira idade. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo do tipo série de casos, realizado em cinco bairros dessa cidade, com 41 sujeitos, em novembro de 2009. As informações foram organizadas em quatro dimensões: cidadania, saúde, trabalho e lazer. Nos resultados constatou-se que o sexo feminino representou 61% da amostra, que 54% são analfabetos e que os idosos não estão inseridos nas ações voltadas para a terceira idade no Município, pois não possuem conhecimento das mesmas e/ou encontram dificuldades de acessá-las ou entendê-las. Concluiu-se que os resultados poderão estimular os gestores na implementação de novas alternativas de acesso aos programas.
