Introduction: The aging process is a natural phenomenon in which there is a decrease in cognitive and physical abilities, which can be associated with pathophysiological and psychosocial changes. Objective: To compare mental health and functional capacity among dependent and independent elderly people linked to the Family Health Strategy (ESF) in Natal and Santa Cruz, in RN/Brazil. Methods: Descriptive, comparative, longitudinal study with a quantitative approach. As inclusion criteria were established: person aged 60 years or over who are registered in the ESF with cognitive conditions to respond to the sociodemographic questionnaire, SF36 Questionnaire to assess quality of life and the Lawton Scale to assess functionality. For inferential analysis and comparison between the stages of the study, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Sum Test with Bonferroni correction and Pearson’s Chi-square Test were used. Results: 58 elderly people were evaluated, 29 registered in the ESF in Natal and 29 in Santa Cruz (RN), of which 88.3% of the elderly had a demand for functional health. There was an increase in dependence in most of the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) and a worsening of Quality of Life (QL). In the mental health dimension of the SF 36, a negative and non-significant result was observed, both among the dependent elderly (p-value=0.885) and among the independent elderly (p-value=0.885), after comparing the results of the first and second assessments on the Lawton scale. Conclusion: The elderly showed improvements in aspects of body pain and the physical dimension of QL between the two assessments.
