This article aims to map and analyze studies addressing the social determinants of health among older homeless people. We conducted a scoping review guided by the methodological framework proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Searches were undertaken of the following databases: Apa PsycNET, LILACS, Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Embase. We also searched for grey literature using Google Scholar, The Cochrane Library, Catalogue of Theses and Dissertations (CAPES), Cybertesis and NDLTD. A total of 658 references were retrieved. After screening the final sample consisted of four studies. Impacts on older homeless people were mentioned in all the articles and directly related to social determinants of health. The findings show that the main social determinants of health affecting older homeless people were socioeconomic problems, lack of family support, unemployment, lack of adequate housing and mental health issues, having a direct impact on the health of this group
