Studies prove that aging can be associated with social isolation, which leads to several damages to physical and mental health. On December 31, 2019, the first case of the new coronavirus was registered and shortly thereafter it was associated with a higher risk of death for the elderly, and as a result, sanitary measures were adopted, including social isolation. Objective: To investigate the effects of social isolation on physical and mental health in elderly community members during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This is an integrative review study, carried out systematically based on the guiding question "What are the effects on social and mental health of social isolation in elderly community members during the covid pandemic19?". Results: Studies that addressed two main mental health issues in aging and social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Isolamento socialIdosoSaúde MentalInfecções por CoronavirusSocial IsolationAgedMental HealthCoronavirus InfectionspostGraduateThesis
