Abstract
The state of alarm declared by the Spanish Government during the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected the state and activities of daily living of a particularly vulnerable population, the elderly. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of the pandemic on the elderly in terms of their activities of daily living and their relationship with emotional state. An exploratory, descriptive and exploratory study was carried out with a single mean time (cross-sectional). Data collection was carried out by means of online surveys aimed at people over 50 years of age in Spain, which included the assessment of sociodemographic data, together with specific aspects of the pandemic and a scale on activities of daily living carried out ad-hoc based on validated instruments. The results show that ADLs have been affected during confinement in middle-aged and elderly people, especially ADLs. A relationship was found between maintaining ADLs and a better mood, as well as a relationship between age and maintaining these activities.
