Prezado Autores,

Parabenizo a condução e discussão dos dados em alta complexidade da população idosa.

O artigo apresenta dados locais e dados prevalentes em período de 2015-2019, não temos muitos dados em literatura brasileira sobre hospitalizações, esse parece uma boa caracterização de pessoas idosas em uma capital mineira. Acredito que faltou discutir aspectos de gênero de internação, são pessoas idosas na faixa etária 60-79 anos, quais os implicadores? renda? raça? local de residencia? em discussão há a necessidade de elucidar o fortalecimento do trabalho pela APS com pessoas idosas. Em resumo incluir número total da amostra, revisar ao longo do texto e substituir idoso (a) por pessoa idosa (o), terminologia mais recente.
