The way how a society understands and behaves in the face of the aging process is reflected in its own conceptions of aging. This article aimed to reflect the expression of ageism in Brazil during COVID-19, considering theories of human aging and different social organizations. It is concluded that a greater expression of this prejudice in Brazilian elderly is also due to a failure to enforce the access and rights laws of these elderly people.
