Resumo: The aim of this study was to analyze the presence of common mental disorders and symptoms of anxiety and depression in Brazilian elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two hundred thirty-seven elderly people, with ages varying between 60 and 88 years old, participated, being 78.5% female and 97.9% claiming to be in quarantine. The instruments used were a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD). Common mental disorders were more frequent in women, elderly people with monthly income below two minimum wages and among those with a greater perception of vulnerability to COVID-19. People with a higher perceived risk of COVID-19 also had a higher occurrence of distress and symptoms of anxiety and depression. In this sense, mental health care is necessary, especially for elderly women, elderly people with less access to income and those who perceive themselves as more vulnerable to the virus.

Participaron doscientas treinta y siete personas mayores, con edades que varían entre 60 y 88 años, siendo 78.5% mujeres y 97.9% afirmando estar en cuarentena. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el cuestionario sociodemográfico, el Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) y la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión Hospitalaria (HAD). Los trastornos mentales comunes fueron más frecuentes en mujeres, personas mayores con ingresos mensuales por debajo de dos salarios mínimos y entre aquellos con una mayor percepción de vulnerabilidad al COVID-19. Las personas con un mayor riesgo percibido ante el COVID-19 también tenían una mayor incidencia de distrés psicológico y síntomas de ansiedad y depresión. En este sentido, la atención a la salud mental es necesaria, especialmente para las mujeres de edad avanzada.O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a presença de transtornos mentais comuns e sintomas de ansiedade e depressão em idosos brasileiros durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Participaram 237 idosos, com idades variando entre 60 e 88 anos, sendo 78,5% do sexo feminino, com 97,9% afirmando estar em quarentena.
