SUMMARY:

Background: The infection caused by Treponema pallidum remains a severe public health problem. There is a global incidence of seven million cases per year. In Brazil, 917,473 cases of acquired syphilis were reported (2010 - 2020). Therefore, this study aims to evaluate data on the detection rate of syphilis in Brazil by characterizing the epidemiological profile and respective factors associated with it, in addition to performing a temporal trend analysis, from 2010 to 2020. Methodology: Cross-sectional, time-series study, which started with the collection of notifications from the database of the Information System on Compulsory Notification of Diseases, from older people aged 60 to 120 years. The epidemiological profile was characterized based on sociodemographic variables. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program, version 19.0, was used for incidence and prevalence analysis. In addition, the 2010 census by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and projections for the elderly population were considered. In the trend analysis, the Joinpoint regression model was used. Main Findings: There was an upward variation, from 0.80 to 48.90 cases per 100,000 individuals, in the detection of syphilis in older people from 2010 to 2018, with a peak in 2018. The prevalence of the infection was equivalent to 12.84 cases for each 100,000 Brazilians, with a mean age of 68.04 years (±7.15), being higher in white and black males. The highest proportion of older people with syphilis occurred in the South and Southeast regions. However, the trend analysis showed a significant and homogeneous increase in all regions of Brazil, for both sexes and age groups. Conclusions: A trend towards a significant increase in cases of syphilis is reaffirmed, reinforcing the need for Primary Care to engage in diagnosis and early treatment, especially for older people.
