Background: At the national level, there are few studies carried out to analyze the prevalence of depression and anxiety in the elderly population. As a result of the pandemic caused by COVID-19, there has been a clear increase in cases of depression and anxiety worldwide, so having a history of being infected by SARS-COV 2 could be a risk factor for developing these illnesses. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study, non-probabilistic sampling, with a total sample of 141 geriatric participants. To determine the presence of depression symptoms, the Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale was used as an instrument and the LIMA Scale (ELA-8) was used to determine anxiety symptoms in these patients. Results: A prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms of 13.48% and 34.75% respectively was found. No association was found between a history of COVID-19 and the presence of depression symptoms (PRc 0.98 95% CI 0.91 - 1.05). However, there was a negative association with the presence of anxiety symptoms (PRc 0.79 95%CI 0.70 - 0.89). Additionally, the existence of some risk factors for developing depression symptoms was found, such as being malnourished, being divorced, cohabiting, and having a higher education. In addition, it was identified that those participants who did not have family members at home with a history of COVID-19 were a risk factor for developing anxiety symptoms. Conclusions: In the present research, no direct association has been observed between the prior acquisition of the COVID-19 virus and the manifestation of depressive symptomatology. Nevertheless, a negative association has been identified, revealing a protective effect of anxious symptomatology. Specifically, the presence of this respiratory infection decreases the probability of developing anxious symptoms by 21% compared to individuals who have not previously experienced this pathology.
