Study of Heideggeriana phenomenological approach which has as an object the sense of the elderly longevous living in the aging process and how to reveal the sense of the elderly longevous living in the aging process. The collection of testimonies were made by interview being held from February 2008 to March 2009 in an Urban Social Center located in the city of Salvador-Bahia, with elderly people of both sexes, aged between 80 to 90 years . The comprehensive analysis was based on Heideggeriano concepts.

Autonomy and independence are present in their daily life, 2. Identifies the forgetfulness in their daily life; 3. It recognizes the limits of the age; 4.
