    Depression and anxiety are illnesses with a high incidence in older adults, who present symptoms that added to the vital circumstances of aging (illness, grief, disability), can become a disorder. The objective of this research was to describe the levels of depression and anxiety according to gender, age and marital status in older adults of the Elderly Project of the parish of El Valle. It has a quantitative approach, a non-experimental cross-sectional design and a descriptive scope. The participants were 40 older adults between 65 and 94 years of age. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI-II) were used to identify levels of depression and anxiety, and a sociodemographic card was used to characterize the participants. It has been identified that the levels of depression and anxiety according to sociodemographic variables as a function of age, marital status and gender are not statistically significant, while the predominant level of depression (40%) is moderate with an overall mean of M=21.1. On the other hand, the most predominant level of anxiety is low with a percentage of 52.5% with an overall mean of M=20.15. According to gender, men present significantly higher levels than women.

    Relación entre la salud mental positiva y el deterioro cognitivo leve en adultos mayores del Centro de Cuidados del Adulto Mayor de la ciudad de Cuenca, en el periodo 2022 – 2023
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-03-01) Marín Balcázar, Steeven Santiago; Velecela Sanango, Henry David; Webster Cordero, Felipe Edmundo
    Positive mental health is conceived as the absence of disease or the presence of certain personality attributes that protect the individual from becoming ill or assist in the recovery or rehabilitation from difficulties or disorders. On the other hand, mild cognitive impairment is an alteration in one or more domains of cognition greater than expected in a person of the same age and educational level, but not of sufficient intensity to establish the diagnosis of dementia. For this reason, it is proposed as an objective to relate the levels of positive mental health and mild cognitive impairment in older adults of the Elderly Care Center of the City of Cuenca in the period 2022 - 2023. The research has a quantitative approach, with a correlational scope, non- experimental and cross-sectional design. Forty-seven older adults participated in the study and were administered the Mental Health Contínuum Short Form Scale, adapted to the Ecuadorian context, the Mini-Mental Cognitive Examination and a sociodemographic card. The research shows mild and moderate cognitive impairment in the population, in which there are medium, medium-high and high levels of positive mental health; as an interesting finding it is concluded that there is no relationship between positive mental health and mild cognitive impairment.
