Abstract

The lifestyle of older adults worldwide has changed drastically due to the pandemic, where their routine activities have been modified, generating health problems. Therefore, the objective of the research is to determine the lifestyle of older adults and the nursing intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic in North Lima. It is a quantitative, descriptive-cross-sectional study, with a population of 206 participants over 60 years of age who answered a questionnaire on sociodemographic aspects and the FANTASTICO instrument. The results showed that of adults aged 60 to 90 years, 10.2% have a low lifestyle and 19.9% have a fantastic lifestyle. In conclusion, educational counseling on lifestyle management at home should be provided for older adults, as this will allow them to maintain their healthy lifestyle.
