O presente artigo tem como objetivo avaliar os fatores epidemiológicos do trauma em idosos atendidos em serviços de emergência. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa através da busca de artigos indexados na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, no qual após análise final foram incluídos 08 artigos. Para melhor elucidação foram formuladas duas categorias: Perfil dos idosos vítimas de trauma e Análise do evento traumático no idoso e suas implicações. Foi possível verificar que a epidemiologia do trauma no idoso atendido na emergência é multifatorial e a identificação desses componentes são consideradas ferramentas cruciais para a formulação de estratégias de prevenção.
