[Analysis of ageism during the pandemic, a global elder abuse].

Ageism is a form of abuse which has negative influence on elderly people. Although COVID-19 affects people of all ages, it has increased ageism effects, reducing the access of the elderly to different resources, including health system. Ageism is associated to cost overruns, poorer health and early mortality. From «GdT atención al mayor de semFYC» we make a series of proposals to decrease it based on community activities that favour intergenerational relationships and ageing education allowing a correct integration of the elderly on society.
