Durante la pandemia COVID-19 fueron el grupo humano más afectado por este virus, por lo que el objeto de este estudio es evidenciar el nivel de protección del Estado a los derechos del adulto mayor en la localidad de Tisaleo. La metodología aplicada fue cuantitativa con un enfoque descriptivo y una modalidad investigativa de campo, la población fueron las personas adultas mayores del cantón Tisaleo de la Provincia de Tungurahua y bajo un muestreo no probabilístico se seleccionó a 80 adultos mayores de 65 años en adelante. Entre los resultados principales se obtuvo que el 75% tuvo una mala economía durante la pandemia, el 100% contó con servicios básico como agua y luz, el 85% tuvo una mala salud, el 45% padeció de artritis y artrosis, la mayor parte de encuestados se alimentó 3 veces al día, el 100% no contó con actividades de ocio, entre otros resultados. Como parte de las conclusiones se determina que, durante la pandemia, las políticas estatales no beneficiaron significativamente a la calidad de vida del adulto mayor, presentándose deficiencias en el sistema de salud pública, suspensión de programas de ocio y participación, inexistencia de programas alimentarios, viéndose las acciones del Gobierno local dirigidas a prevenir y mitigar los efectos del COVID-19.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract  Older adults are a priority group protected by the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, and therefore, state actions should be oriented to their protection in order to improve their quality of life. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they were the human group most affected by this virus, so the purpose of this study is to demonstrate the level of State protection of the rights of the elderly in the town of Tisaleo. The methodology applied was quantitative with a descriptive approach and a field research modality, the population was the elderly people of the canton of Tisaleo in the Province of Tungurahua and under a non-probabilistic sampling, 80 elderly adults aged 65 years and older were selected. Among the main results were that 75% had a bad economy during the pandemic, 100% had basic services such as water and electricity, 85% had poor health, 45% suffered from arthritis and arthrosis, most respondents ate 3 times a day, 100% had no leisure activities, among other results. As part of the conclusions it is determined that, during the pandemic, state policies did not significantly benefit the quality of life of the elderly, presenting deficiencies in the public health system, suspension of leisure and participation programs, non-existence of food programs, seeing the actions of the local government aimed at preventing and mitigating the effects of COVID-19.]]></p></abstract>
