Family Vulnerability Index to Disability and Dependency (FVI-DD) is intended to summarize the vulnerability dimensions to disability and dependency using family data accompanied by teams of the Family Health Strategy (FHS). The aim of this study is to analyze the FVI-DD, according to the social and health vulnerability, to validate and extract a cutoff point for each dimension. The FVI-DD was built with a sample of 248 families living in a region of São Paulo with high aging index and distinct social conditions. The factor related to health conditions (CSA) was validated with good internal consistency, with respect to the Katz Index and the Lawton Scale, as the factor related to social conditions (CSO) validated only in relation to Lawton Scale. Thus, it sets a cutoff point for FVI-DD Total and another to CSA dimension. The final index is composed of social conditions of strengthening (access to durable goods, education, employment and income) and wear (illiteracy, poverty). In addition, health conditions are addressed not only in the biological sphere, but also in access to health services, health self-assessment and presence of vulnerable groups such as the elderly.
