La pandemia del COVID-19 ha afectado significativamente a la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores brasileños. El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar el nivel de apoyo social y la soledad en los adultos mayores durante la pandemia del covid-19 y su relación con las variables como reserva cognitiva, datos sociodemográficos, hábitos diarios y salud percibida. Se realizó un estudio transversal en línea con una muestra de 116 participantes con más de 60 años de edad. Se utilizaron los instrumentos: Cuestionario sociodemográfico, cuestionario sobre hábitos en la pandemia, CRIq , Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale y MOS-SSS . Se encontró una correlación significativa entre la soledad y el apoyo social. Los modelos de regresión encontrados demuestran la influencia de la percepción del estado de salud y de diferentes medios en la predicción del apoyo social y la soledad. Los resultados presentados muestran la importancia de evaluar los factores psicosociales relacionados con la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores brasileños durante y después de la pandemia del COVID-19.
