Prevalence and risk factors of depression and anxiety have been reported in previous reviews in other populations; however, a systematic review on the factors associated with depression and anxiety in older adults is not currently present in the literature. We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ProQuest Psychology Database, Science Direct, Cochrane Library and SciELO databases (23 February 2021). The results were obtained by entering a combination of MeSH or Emtree terms with keywords related to COVID-19, elderly, depression and anxiety in the databases. A total of 11 studies were included in the systematic review. Female gender, loneliness, poor sleep quality and poor motor function were identified as factors associated with both depression and anxiety. Aspects related to having a stable and high monthly income represent protective factors for both depression and anxiety, and exercising was described as protective for depression. This study synthesised information and analysed the main factors associated with depression and anxiety in the older population during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the cross-sectional design of most of the included studies does not allow a causal relationship between the factors analysed and depression or anxiety. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 4.614 2021 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 45 / 182 = 0.247 2021 Q1 T1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 100 / 279 = 0.358 2021 Q2 T2 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 71 / 210 = 0.338 2021 Q2 T2 0.814 2021 Pollution 2021 Q1 Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis 2021 Q1 4.5 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Cabanillas-Barea, Sara (orcid)0000-0002-3755-5646 Carrasco-Uribarren, Andoni Albarova Corral, María Isabel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-1292-3163 Argüello-Espinosa, María Irache Marcén-Román, Yolanda Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5851-8855 1003 027 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
