Introduction. Dementia is a global public health problem, for which there is currently no cure. The increasing number of non-pharmacological interventions for the management of dementia challenges us to provide evidence- based care. Objective. To evaluate the feasibility of an individualized, cognitive rehabilitation program based on the French ETNA3 trial in Mexican subjects over fifty-five with mild Alzheimer's dementia and their caregivers who live in the community. Method. Non-randomized feasibility study. The intervention consisted of a twelve-month cognitive rehabilitation program, divided into eighteen ninety-minute sessions, administered by trained psychologists, and standardized according to the French ETNA3 program. To assess its feasibility, we determined the percentage of eligibility, acceptability, retention, and compliance and evaluated the adverse effects and degree of satisfaction in patients and their caregivers. Results. Thirty-two people with dementia and their caregivers agreed to participate. The mean age of the participants was 80 ± 8 years, the majority (72%) were women, and 78% had had five or more years of schooling. At twelve months, twenty-eight subjects (87%) completed the program with 100% compliance with the scheduled sessions. Discussion. This study shows the feasibility of an individualized cognitive rehabilitation program based on ETNA3 for Mexican subjects with mild dementia and their caregivers. Conclusion. More studies are required to evaluate the importance of trained therapists and caregiver support in achieving significant cognitive and functional changes in patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Silver Generation, the population made up of older adults, in countries like Spain and those in its immediate surroundings, represents a demographic segment in constant growth, as a consequence of the increase in life expectancy, and with an increasingly greater percentage weight on the total population, due to the decrease in the birth rate. The main objective of this work is to know and analyze the characteristics and behaviors of this diverse and heterogeneous demographic profile, which is gradually adapting to the use of new technologies, including their preferences regarding the different channels or media they use, the way they relate to the offering companies and their products and services, as well as their assessment of the effectiveness of current marketing strategies aimed at older people. A quantitative methodology has been used, based on a primary source, a survey carried out on people over 55 years of age residing in Spain. The results reflect the existence of significant discontent regarding advertising campaigns directed towards that generation, since they estimate that they do not use the most appropriate channels and coherent strategies, and they are not developed with respect to their way of being and thinking. It is concluded that personalization in treatment, the generation of trust and improving accessibility to new purchasing systems should allow for solid and lasting commercial relationships between companies and this generation.

La adopción de hábitos saludables en lo que concierne a la alimentación puede ser considerado una necesidad en cualquier etapa de la vida, sin embargo, esta convicción es mayor, cuando se trata de impulsar la calidad de vida en adultos mayores que requieren más atención, en cuanto a la forma y contenido de su alimentación. Es claro, en ese sentido que, cuando se le relaciona con la salud, la calidad de vida adquiere una perspectiva integral en donde, el bienestar individual esta relacionado, tanto con el cuidado personal a la hora de alimentarse o adquirir practicas de vida saludables, como con el establecimiento de las relaciones en el entorno en el que se desenvuelven los individuos. En esa perspectiva, este artículo, se propuso como objetivo, caracterizar la pertinencia de las estrategias educativas para fomentar habitos nutricionales que favorezcan la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores en una localidad ecuatoriana. Metodologicamente es una investigación mixta, que incluyó un cuestionario sobre educación nutricional, dirigido a algunos encargados de la atención alimentaria y, una muestra de los adultos mayores que habitan en el contexto en estudio. Entre los resultados destaca la importancia de las estrategias con un enfoque sociocultural a la hora de educar nutricionalmente para orientar la adopción de habitos alimenticios que pueden mejorar la calidad de vida, en adultos mayores.

Aging is a natural process that undergoes changes as age advances, to adapt to different life situations, where aspects such as physical and mental functions, independence, and quality of life of the older adult are affected. This progressive deterioration may depend on lifestyle, environmental and social factors; For this reason, they are considered the most vulnerable population since the deterioration not only has health implications but also social and economic ones; causing a greater risk for elderly people to suffer from degenerative and chronic diseases. The research has a quantitative approach and is quasi-experimental since it will be evaluated at the beginning and end of the intervention using scales. In addition, it was applied to the older adult population; 20 people aged 65 and older who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria participated. Participants underwent 12 45-minute sessions once a week of exercise combined with music. The post-intervention results indicate that in balance and movement, 85% of the population decreased the risk of falling, where 50% are between 65-75 years old. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. To estimate the proportion of vaccinated subjects and associated factors in adults and older adults in Mexico. Materials and methods. Analysis of data obtained from the Ensanut Continua 2021-2023 and comparison with the proportion of vaccinated subjects in Ensanut 2012. Results. Given that only 6.8% of adults and older adults in Ensanut Continua 2021-2023 and 17.7% in Ensanut 2012 could accredit their vaccination status, the analysis is based on self-report. When comparing Ensanut Continua 2021-2023 with Ensanut 2012, the proportion of vaccinated subjects according to age group and biologic was as follows: adults aged 20-59 years, tetanus: 66.87 vs. 78.08%; women of childbearing age, tetanus: 71.1 vs. 82.0%; measles/rubella: 36.8 vs. 48.5%; older adults, tetanus: 59.5 vs. 65.86%; influenza: 58.7 vs. 51.9%; pneumococcus: 34.8 vs. 45.9%. Covid-19 vaccine coverage in younger and older adults was 86.6 and 89.2%, respectively. Incomplete schedules were more prevalent in men and in people without health insurance, among adults aged 20 to 59; and in people without health insurance, among adults aged 60 years or older. Discussion. A considerable proportion of adults and older adults are not protected against vaccinepreventable diseases in 2021-2023. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Desde la sociolingüística se relatan las actitudes de mayahablantes mayores de 50 años procedentes del interior del estado de Yucatán que habían migrado a la ciudad de Mérida (Yucatán, México). El objetivo es analizar sus actitudes hacia la lengua maya y hacia sí mismos como hablantes, considerando las visiones de la lengua tanto en el pasado, como en el presente, y sus efectos para su transmisión a las nuevas generaciones. A través de entrevistas y observaciones indirectas, y de un análisis de tipo inductivo, encontramos que las personas migrantes expresan actitudes más positivas en la actualidad que en años anteriores. Sin embargo, el mantenimiento y la transmisión del idioma maya en los hijos e hijas no siempre es posible debido a circunstancias de carácter social y educativo.

Objective. To estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its association with sociodemographic factors in Mexican older adults (OA). Materials and methods. This study analyzes data from the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey 2016. We incorporated data from 804 participants aged 60 years or older. Information on sex, age, body mass index, scholar level, ethnicity, smoking status, geographic region, socioeconomic status, and alcohol consumption was analyzed. For MetS, the International Diabetes Federation harmonized definition was used. Multiple logistic regression models were used to assess the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) between sociodemographic factors and MetS. Results. The prevalence of MetS was 77.4% (95%CI 72.2,81.9), 71.2% for men, (95%CI 63.2,78.9) and 83.7% for women (95%CI 77.9,88.2). The OA presented higher odds of MetS when they lived with overweight, obesity, and those who had more years of education. Conclusion. The prevalence of MetS among Mexican OA is substantial. Moreover, individuals living with obesity exhibit a heightened odd of experiencing elevated Fasting Plasma Glucose and high blood pressure. This study provides a comprehensive perspective underscoring the imperative for policies aimed at mitigating obesity and addressing other chronic conditions within this population.

Older people with rheumatic diseases tend to have a greater number of associated comorbidities, which will require the use of more drugs, increasing the risk of hospitalizations, complications, and drug interactions. In Mexico, there has been an estimated prevalence of polypharmacy of up to 55%, however there are scarce reports on the topic in our elderly population with rheumatic diseases. We aimed to determine the prevalence of polypharmacy and the association of drug interactions in patients treated for rheumatic disease. A retrospective observational study was conducted on patients undergoing treatment for rheumatic diseases who were treated in geriatrics and rheumatology clinics from January to December 2021. The presence of polypharmacy and drug interactions was evaluated using the BOT Plus Pharmacological Surveillance System. The prevalence of polypharmacy and the association of drug interactions were estimated. We evaluated 320 patients, with a mean age of 67.05 ± 5.8 years, predominantly female (85%). The prevalence of polypharmacy was 68.1% (n = 218), of which 214 (98.1%) patients had related drug interactions; 27.1% were severe and 53.2% as moderate interactions. Factors related with increased risk of drug interactions were being exposed to hypertension increased the risk of drug interactions (POR 1.75, 95% CI 1.44–2.14; P < 0.001), having osteoarthritis (POR 1.21, 95% CI 1.04–1.42; P = 0.032) and thyroid disease (POR 1.45, 95% CI 1.28–1.65; P = 0.001). The most prevalent serious interactions were leflunomide–methotrexate in 27 (46.5%) patients and buprenorphine–tramadol in 8 (13.7%). A high prevalence of polypharmacy and drug interactions was observed in elderly patients with rheumatic diseases. The main associated factors were comorbidities, particularly high blood pressure, osteoarthritis and thyroid diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: changes in cognitive performance and memory of older adults (OA) can interfere in their reporting their diet. Objective: to evaluate the impact of memory bias in dietary estimation between OA and their primary caregivers (PC) through the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for Mexican OA and weighed food records (WFR). Methods: the present analysis uses the estimated dietary information based on the response provided by 51 older adults (OA) and their primary caregivers (PC) from the validation study of the FFQ for Mexicans OA was conducted during lockdowns for COVID-19. The personnel who applied FFQ and WFR were trained with standardized instruments and procedures. The Wilcoxon test was used to compare the intake per day of the foods and food groups, the Spearman correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the grams of intake per day of the food groups, and kappa coefficient was used to compare the level of food items and food groups between OA and PC. Results: in 11 of 14 food groups, no significant differences were observed between the amounts of intake reported by OA and PC. In the groups of dairy products, fruits, vegetables, and legumes, moderate agreement was observed (k = 0.63 to 0.79), and in the rest of the groups was strong to perfect (k = 0.80). Correlation of the amount of intake between OA and PC was high in all food groups (r = 0.87). Conclusion: the high correlation and high agreement between the amounts and frequencies of the food groups consumed as reported by the older adults and primary caregivers indicate that the information from both respondents is reliable.

The adapted KTK Test to older adults aims to detect motor coordination disorders in people at this stage of life. This is a test that is designed to be applied to children between 5 and 14 years old. The methodological process was developed with a systematic adaptation of the instrument according to the physical state and motor coordination of the elderly, reviewing scientific information. The adapted test was applied to 169 participants, who in turn were evaluated independently by 5 experts, who assessed them directly according to their degree of expertise. The results of the test and the test performed by the experts were placed in a contingency table and compared using Pearson's contingency coefficient. It is concluded that the adapted KTK test in older adults to detect motor coordination disorders corresponds to the results achieved by the experts and therefore the adapted KTK test can be used to measure motor coordination in older adults.

This study examined the impact of media education for elderly care programs in China on the well-being and quality of life of elderly population. This study investigated how media education turned older population in techno-savvy and improved the well-being and quality of life of the elderly population. The objectives of the study were to bring forth the role played by media awareness of social media, to examine the challenges associated with it, and to recommend efficient strategies to promote the engagement of older adults in media education of social media and usage of media gadgets that helps them to be techno-savvy and improve their well-being. The qualitative methodology was used and data was collected through semi-structured interviews from a sample of 8 informants comprising caretakers working at Chinese old age homes and senior community centers. Following a thematic analysis, it was revealed that media education in elderly care programs potentially benefits older by improving their self-efficacy, social connectedness, and overall well-being. It was also found that media awareness of older adults significantly assisted them to be techno-savvy and enhanced high-quality life in them. Limited equipment, unwillingness, and inefficient technological knowledge were some significant challenges that hindered the proper integration of media education in elderly care programs. It was recommended that training sessions, workshops, and proper allocation of resources should be enhanced to get the potential benefits of media education for older adults. These outcomes have significant contributions for policy-makers and practitioners of old-age institutions. In addition, this study offers novel contributions to relevant literature within the context of China. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The rising prevalence of diabetes among older adults is an increasing concern in the United States and is expected to nearly triple within the next 40 years. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the utilization of Medicare Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) is associated with changes in type 2 diabetes (T2D) outcomes among older adults Medicare beneficiaries. We conducted an observational retrospective cohort study to compare the T2D outcomes between those who attended AWVs and those who did not from 2017 to 2019. The criteria used for this study include having at least two readings (hemoglobin A1c [A1c] levels, glucose levels, and the number of T2D medications), and for the AWV cohort, the AWVs had to occur between those readings. A total of 508 (2%) Medicare beneficiaries fit our selection criteria. Only 154 (30%) of these patients with T2D participated in AWVs. At baseline, the AWV cohort had lower A1c levels and fewer comorbidities than the non‐AWV cohort. No other statistically significant findings were found. These findings indicate that providers did not utilize AWVs on the more complicated patients, who may need it the most. Key points: We investigated whether the utilization of Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) is associated with changes in diabetes outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes among older adults Medicare beneficiaries.We found that individuals with more complicated diabetes are receiving fewer AWVs than those with less complicated diabetes. These more complicated diabetes individuals may benefit the most from preventive care because a resulting AWV care plan may provide an opportunity to outline changes in diabetes medications and education leading to fewer diabetes‐related complications.Future study is needed to determine strategies that increase the number of people with complicated diabetes receiving AWVs.

El bienestar psicológico es un importante factor protector de la salud mental, particularmente en población vulnerable como los adultos mayores. Por lo tanto, es necesario contar con instrumentos de medición válidos, confiables e invariantes para su adecuado uso, con fines de evaluación e intervención psicológica. Este estudio se propuso analizar las evidencias de validez, confiabilidad e invarianza factorial de la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico (BIEPS-A) en una muestra de adultos mayores peruanos. Participaron 522 adultos mayores, de 60 a 93 años (M = 70.81, DE = 7.62), quienes respondieron la Escala BIEPS-A. Se encontraron adecuados índices de ajuste para un modelo de tres factores correlacionados: x2 /gl = 1.631, CFI = .988, TLI = .984, SRMR = .0470, y RMSEA = .0350. También se halló relación entre las puntuaciones de la BIESP-A y el WHO-5 (r = .504), lo que es evidencia de validez convergente. Así mismo, se halló evidencia de confiabilidad de las puntuaciones con los coeficientes alfa (α) y omega (ω) (> .80). Finalmente, se encontró evidencia parcial de invarianza factorial en función al sexo (∆CFI < .010, ∆RMSEA < .015). Se concluyó que la escala BIEPS-A reúne evidencias de validez, confiabilidad e invarianza parcial respecto al sexo para su correcto uso en adultos mayores peruanos.

The article has the objective to compare poverty rates of elderly people between 2018 and 2020, after the universalization of the non-contributory pension during the 2018-2024 presidential period in Mexico, in order to know if there is a change on elderly people's poverty rates. Also, the article aims to know if this policy change has a regressive impact in the whole pension system distribution. The paper uses as a reference for the analysis the International Labour Organization (ILO) guidelines. It compares poverty of different social groups of elderly people in 2018 and 2020 using the National Survey of Households Income and Expenditure. The paper concludes that elderly people's poverty situation is better in 2020. However, there is an increase on inequality in pensions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To describe the experience in laparoscopic resective colorectal surgery in older than 75 years old, during 2004 to 2019 in INDISA Clinic. Material and Methods: It’s a transversal study about all the elective laparoscopic surgeries with colorectal anastomosis in elderly people, based on electronic clinical records. Results: 48 full laparoscopic surgeries, the majority by colorectal cancer (89.6%) shows optimal quality indicators about nodal harvest in 73.2%. The median duration of hospital stay after surgery was 6 days with 30 days mortality of 2.1%. These results are comparable to the international reports. Discussion: The laparoscopic approach in elderly patients has benefits over the open approach with acceptable morbility and mortality. The intraoperatory balance between surgical risk/security and oncologic prognostic it’s a factor to consider in the decision-making process besides the morbility by the age and the own functional reserve. Conclusion. It’s the first series in Chile about over 75 years patients with laparoscopic resective colorectal surgery. Is feasible and secure to do minimal invasive surgery with acceptable morbility and mortality. Only the age isn’t a contraindication to laparoscopic colorectal surgery. It’s necessary more studies with mayor number of patients to known better the national results and long-term results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: There is a lack of research on complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) in older individuals, with little known about the temporal course of CPTSD. Therefore, this study assessed and compared the demographic characteristics, adverse childhood experiences (ACE), and well-being of Swiss older adults with and without probable CPTSD. The (in-)stability of probable CPTSD was also examined in relation to the predictive value of various emotion-related factors. Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted in Switzerland with N = 213 participants (Mage = 69.98 years, SD = 10.61; 45.5% female). Data was collected via face-to-face assessments at baseline and follow-up, 21 months apart. The German version of the International Trauma Questionnaire was used to screen for (C)PTSD. Standardized instruments were used to assess ACE as well as the predictors anger, embitterment, emotion regulation, and meaning in life. Results: From the total sample, n = 16 participants (7.5%) were identified as having probable CPTSD, with only five of these (31.25%) having probable CPTSD at both baseline and follow-up. Individuals with and without probable CPTSD differed significantly regarding age and employment status. Significant predictors of probable CPTSD were anger (β = 0.16), embitterment (β = 0.06), cognitive reappraisal (β = −0.41), and the presence of meaning in life (β = −0.10). Conclusions: Probable CPTSD appears to be relatively unstable over the course of a 21-month period in older individuals. The links between CPTSD and emotion-related predictors highlight potential targets for intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivo: validar la versión reducida (4 preguntas) de la escala de depresión geriátrica en pacientes adultos mayores. Materiales y métodos: estudio realizado entre setiembre 2002 y junio 2003, en 400 pacientes mayores de 60 años que no recibían tratamiento antidepresivo ni tenían evidencia de deterioro cognitivo y que acudieron al consultorio externo del Servicio de Geriatría del hospital nacional Cayetano Heredia. A ellos se les aplicó el DSM-IV (gold standard), la escala de depresión geriátrica de 15 items (GDS- 15) y la escala de depresión geriátrica de 4 items (GDS-4). Resultados: la edad media fue 70,85 años (60-98 años), 66,25% fueron mujeres. El 17,3% tuvo depresión según DSM -IV, 11,8% según GDS-15 y 34,3% según GDS-4. La sensibilidad del GDS-15 fue 49%, especificidad 96%, valor predictivo negativo de 90% y valor predictivo positivo de 72%. La sensibilidad del GDS-4 fue de 93%, especificidad de 78%, valor predictivo negativo 98% y valor predictivo positivo de 47%. El valor Kappa para el GDS-15 en relación al DSMIV fue 0,52 y para el GDS-4 fue 0,50. Conclusion: el GDS- 4 tuvo alta sensibilidad y valor predictivo negativo, por lo que sería una herramienta útil en el screening de depresión en el adulto mayor y significaría una marcada optimización en el tiempo de atención al paciente.

Introducción. En Latinoamérica, los estudios de plasticidad cognitiva en el envejecimiento son escasos. La AVLT-PA es una versión modificada de la Lista de Rey que evalúa plasticidad cognitiva mediante la valoración del potencial de aprendizaje. No se cuenta con datos normativos de la AVLT-PA para adultos mayores. Objetivo. Estudiar la correlación entre variables sociodemográficas (sexo, edad y nivel educativo) y la AVLT-PA en personas mayores, para presentar valores de referencia argentinos de la AVLT-PA. Metodología. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 107 adultos mayores argentinos entre 60 y 89 años. Se analizaron la correlación y las diferencias de variables de la AVLT-PA según sexo, edad y nivel educativo. Resultados. Se observó una correlación negativa estadísticamente significativa entre edad y AVLT-PA, y se observaron diferencias según sexo. No se observó correlación entre las variables de la AVLT-PA y los años de educación. Conclusiones. La AVLT-PA presenta diferencias según edad y sexo, pero no presentó correlación con los años de educación formal, resultando así una herramienta útil para describir el funcionamiento en memoria episódica en personas mayores sanas con diferentes niveles educativos. Por lo tanto, se tomaron en cuenta estas variables para presentar los valores de referencias de la AVLT-PA para población argentina.

Introduction: At the beginning of the pandemic, it was suggested that lockdown and social distancing could affect the physical, emotional, and cognitive aspects of people, especially the elderly. Objective: To determine the characteristics of physical activity, mental health, support networks, and lifestyle of the elderly in lockdown by COVID-19 and its relationship with memory functioning. Method: 100 healthy elderlies (age ≥60 years) participated and answered a set of online instruments that evaluated 6 variables: demographic data, physical activity, mental health, social support networks, lifestyle, and subjective memory. MoCA and Neuropsi tests were applied through a video call. The study was conducted between September 2021 and May 2022. Results: Participants reported being and having been physically active, the presence of trait and state anxiety was found in 100%, also a higher perception of support from the family network. Insomnia was found in 46% of the sample, increased consumption of stimulant beverages and tobacco, and adequate competence in handling information and communication media. The memory functioning of 97% of the participants was normal or high normal, with fair self-perception of memory functioning. Correlations were moderate between mental health and self-perceived memory. Conclusions: The results suggest that having social support networks, good mental health, and staying physically and cognitively active favour memory function. Resumen: Introducción: Al inicio de la pandemia se planteó que el confinamiento y el distanciamiento físico y social pudieran afectar aspectos físicos, emocionales y cognitivos de las personas, en especial de los adultos mayores (AM). Objetivo: Determinar las características de la actividad física, la salud mental, las redes de apoyo y el estilo de vida de AM en el confinamiento por COVID-19 y su relación con el funcionamiento de la memoria. Método: Participaron 100 AM saludables (edad ≥60 años) quienes contestaron un conjunto de instrumentos en línea que evaluaron seis variables: datos demográficos, actividad física, salud mental, redes de apoyo social, estilo de vida y memoria subjetiva. Mediante una videollamada se aplicó el MoCA y el Neuropsi. El estudio se realizó entre septiembre 2021-mayo 2022. Resultados: Los participantes refieren ser y haber sido activos físicamente, se encontró presencia de ansiedad rasgo y estado en el 100%, mayor percepción de porcentaje de apoyo de la red familiar. Se encontró insomnio en el 46% de la muestra, incremento en el consumo de bebidas estimulantes y tabaco, y competencia adecuada en el manejo de medios informativos y comunicativos. El funcionamiento de la memoria del 97% de los participantes fue normal o normal alto, con una autopercepción regular del funcionamiento de la memoria. Las correlaciones fueron moderadas entre salud mental y memoria autopercibida. Conclusiones: Los resultados sugieren que contar con redes de apoyo social, una buena salud mental y mantenerse activos física y cognitivamente, favorece el funcionamiento de la memoria.

La Organización Mundial de la Salud declaró una emergencia global el 30 de enero de 2020 por la variante SARSCOV-2, que afectó a millones de personas en todo el mundo debido al aumento de la mortalidad en personas con enfermedades no transmisibles (ENT). El objetivo de este artículo es determinar los efectos de la pandemia por la COVID- 19 en el estado de salud de los adultos mayores con ECNT. El enfoque es cuantitativo, con un diseño no experimental, transversal de tipo descriptivo de campo; se consideró a la población total como fuente de recolección de datos conformada por 64 personas con ENT que pertenecen a un club de adultos mayores, se utilizó el instrumento validado cuestionario SF36 que evalúa el estado de salud. Dentro de los datos sociodemográficos los adultos mayores son de 65 a 97 años, 59,4% de sexo femenino, 45.3% con nivel de ingresos bajos. Durante el confinamiento 51.6% de adultos mayores tuvieron un estado de salud general deteriorado, 26,6% posee rol físico malo, 39,1% nivel de función social baja, 31.3% con problemas de salud mental. Como conclusión se evidencian los efectos de la pandemia en la población de estudio tuvieron un impacto negativo en la salud física, mental y social, su vulnerabilidad no se debe solo a la edad, sino también a la situación económica, baja educación, no contar con un rol social y vivir con ENT, con el consecuente deterioro de las funciones de la vida diaria y su independencia.

El artículo tiene como objetivo conocer el impacto en la pobreza de los adultos mayores de la universalización de la pensión no contributiva que tuvo lugar durante el sexenio 2018-2024 en México. Igualmente conocer si la implementación de la universalización ha implicado una regresividad en el sistema de pensiones. Se usa como marco de referencia las directrices de la OIT. Se realiza una comparación entre los niveles de pobreza de los adultos mayores por grupos sociales entre el 2018 y el 2020 usando los microdatos las ENIGHs. Se concluye que sí disminuyó la pobreza de los adultos mayores como resultado de la universalización de la pensión no contributiva, pero que la universalidad trajo como consecuencia un incremento de la desigualdad en las pensiones.
