| Summary: | The world population is in a rapid aging process. The number of elderly people in Brazilian society has grown exponentially in the last decades, as well as studies that aim to investigate the dimensions of aging and correlate it with quality of life. The methodological course was based on a qualitative analysis, with the IRaMuTeQ software, regarding the aging process, by the perception of the passage of time (Protension) of elderly participants of a project of cognitive and physical interventions carried out at the Catholic University of Brasília. The results show improvements between the pre- and postintervention moments; the perception of time through the aging process is intimately linked to additions to the use of the word "more" at both times; the association between words changes indicating accelerated temporal passages, evidencing a psychological improvement. With more publications on the subject, it will be possible to use the factor "time perception" as a variable to analyze quality of life in the elderly.
