Anxiety reported by US adults in 2019 and during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic: Population-based evidence from two nationally representative samples

Michael Daly et al.

Summary: The prevalence of anxiety symptoms increased significantly during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US, but rapidly decreased as stay-at-home orders were lifted. This suggests the importance of providing mental health support during future lockdowns and indicates that population-level resilience in mental health may have been a key response to the challenges of the pandemic.

Understanding Psychological Distress and Protective Factors Amongst Older Adults During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Nichole Sams et al.

Summary: This study examined emotional distress and loneliness in older adults during COVID-19, finding that emotionally distressed individuals were more likely to feel lonely with lower resilience and worse physical health, while lonely individuals had lower resilience and worse physical health. Resilience, socioeconomic status, and physical health were significant predictors of loneliness, while global health was the best predictor of emotional distress. Older adults with lower SES, worse physical health, and less resilience were more likely to report loneliness.

A Study of Older Adults' Mental Health across 33 Countries during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Carmen M. Tyler et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of personal characteristics and the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of older adults aged 60 and older from 33 countries. Findings show that being separated from and having conflicts with loved ones, as well as residing in a country with higher income, can impact anxiety and depression in older adults. Adjusting to working from home, younger age, and receiving medical treatment for severe COVID-19 symptoms are also factors associated with depression and anxiety. Older adults from Europe and Central Asia reported higher depression levels compared to those from other regions, while their anxiety levels were higher than those from Latin America and the Caribbean.
