In the framework of the pandemic, the greatest people have been identified as one of the groups in physical risk against Covid-19. This reason motivated the Chair of Psychology of the Third Age and Life of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), to inquire about the psychological and emotional aspects that could be affected in this age range. A survey was drawn up in which different emotional aspects were asked, such as being: fear, anxiety, the perception of boredom, fun, sadness, irritability/disgust, and recurrent fears in the face of death. Based on the obtained results, it was intended to describe the current situation, in such a way as to mobilize the design of approaches that prioritize the needs of this age group, in this particular context and without antecedents.
