dc.description.abstract | Background: The elderly population has proven to be a particularly vulnerable group with regard to the efects of
the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to study the psychometric properties of the Ansiedad y MIedo a
Covid-19 scale (AMICO) on a population-based sample of elderly people.
Methods: A descriptive and psychometric cross-sectional study, based on questionnaires, was carried out. An
exploratory and confrmatory factor analysis was performed, as well as a bivariate analysis between the diferent soci‑
odemographic variables with respect to the total scale score.
Results: A sample of 720 adults over 65 years of age was obtained, 52.2% of whom were women. The structure of
the factor of the scale showed two factors (fear and anxiety) and was confrmed with good ft parameters. The overall
reliability of the scale in terms of internal consistency was α=0.94.
