Abstract (English):	OBJECTIVE: To determine the factors associated to socio-family problems in the study populations of CEMENA Frailty Study (urban population of Lima-Callao ambulatory assisted in a hospital of high complexity) and of the study Andes Frail (in populations of Los Andes of Peruvian high Andean communities). MATERIALS AND METHODS: An observational, analytical cross-sectional study was conducted using the CEMENA Frailty Study and the Andes Frail Study data. The main variable was "social problems" measured with Social Familial Gijon Scale with a score greater than 10; the statistical analysis was performed with Poisson regression. RESULTS: The sample size was 2119 participants. We found a frequency of social problems measured with Gijon Scale of 40.4% (n = 856), factors associated to the main variable were age, living alone and sex. The most frequent age groups were 71 to 80 years (45.2%, n = 958), and older than 80 years old (33.7%, n = 715); the sample had male gender in 54.9% (n = 1661) and 15.4% (n = 328) reported living alone. CONCLUSIONS: Being at the age between 71 and 80 years, male gender, and living alone increase the risk to suffer social problems in elderly of high Andean communities and elderly of Lima-Callao, treated in geriatrics services, although factors associated to each population varies independently.

Abstract (Spanish):	poblaciones del estudio CEMENA Frailty Study (población urbana de Lima-Callao atendida a nivel ambulatorio en un hospital de alta complejidad) y del estudio Andes Frail (en poblaciones de los Andes de comunidades altoandinas peruanas). MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional, analítico, transversal que utilizó los datos de los estudios CEMENA Frailty Study y Andes Frail. La variable "problema social" se evaluó mediante la Escala Sociofamiliar de Gijón, con un punto de corte de 10 puntos. El análisis estadístico se hizo mediante regresión de Poisson. RESULTADOS: El tamaño final de la muestra fue de 2119 participantes. Encontramos una frecuencia de problemas sociofamiliares según la Escala de Gijón del 40.4% (n = 856) utilizando ambas bases de datos, los factores asociados con la variable dependiente fueron la edad, el sexo y vivir solo. Respecto al grupo etario, los participantes de 71 a 80 años representaron un 45.2% (n = 958) y los mayores de 80 años un 33.7% (n = 715); el sexo masculino correspondió al 54.9% (n = 1161) y un 15.4% (n = 328) reportaron vivir solos. CONCLUSIONES: Pertenecer al grupo etario entre 71 y 80 años, ser de sexo masculino y vivir solo incrementan las probabilidades de sufrir problemas sociofamiliares en los adultos mayores de comunidades altoandinas y de Lima-Callao; sin embargo, los factores asociados de manera independiente en cada una de las poblaciones varían.
