La investigación es bajo una metodología de tipo descriptiva, que permite detallar las características sociodemográficas actuales propias del adulto mayor, en base a recopilación de información valiosa que permite mostrarlas en su contexto actual. El enfoque es cuantitativo no experimental; la técnica de investigación utilizada fue la revisión y análisis documental. En cuanto al instrumento de investigación, se empleó la matriz digital de contenido. Esta herramienta se diseñó para organizar y estructurar la información extraída de los expedientes clínicos de los adultos mayores residentes en el Centro Gerontológico León Rúales del Cantón Ibarra. La obtención de resultados con el uso de las historias clínicas que fueron un instrumento de total ayuda brindadas por el Centro Gerontológico León Rúales ayudó a obtener las características sociodemográficas de los adultos mayores residentes en el centro. La presentación de resultados se da a través de la tabulación de datos obtenidos de la base del Centro investigado, que da lugar a una información precisa con el fin de que sirva de base para investigaciones futuras, y que, de ser el caso, permita crear planes de acción para mejor la calidad de vida del adulto mayor.
