Several studies have examined the mental health of older Chinese adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, but little research as been done in for the same topic in Western countries. A cross sectional study compared symptoms of anxiety, depression, and acute stress between those under and over 60 years of age in Spain using an online survey. Similar to findings in China, this study found that older adults exhibited significantly less symptoms of stress and anxiety compared to younger adults, with no differences between gender. Other variables studied, such as living with others and regularly excercising did not have an impact on mental health. However, experiencing economic loss was associated with higher levels of anxiety and acute stress.
