It is important to study the way older adults deal with the meaning of death and anxiety generated. Through a cross-sectional, correlational study, the Folstein Mini Mental, Yesavage Scale, Templer’s Fear of Death, Collet Lester’s Death Anxiety and a supportive social network questionnaire were applied in a non-probabilistic sample of 63 older adults who attend to institutional support groups. The results indicate cognitive impairment prevalence of 9.5%, reporting depression especially in women (17%). There is an association between continuing working and fear of death, as well as anxiety about death and having chronic-degenerative disease, there is also a correlation between depression and fear at the end of the life, the process and occurrence of the death of a relative, which is the highest indicators of anxiety. The results are discussed in relation to some aspects of gender, support of the family and social support network, as well as access to health and social security services. El envejecimiento implica un cambio muy importante que va acompañado de pérdida de capacidades funcionales y neuropsicológicas, así como de procesos significativos como el manejo de la muerte. Es importante estudiar la manera en la que los adultos mayores enfrentan el significado de la muerte y la ansiedad generada. Mediante un estudio transversal y de alcance correlacional, se aplicó el mini mental de Folstein, la escala de Yesavage, la de miedo a la muerte de Templer y la de ansiedad a la muerte de Collet Lester, así como un cuestionario de redes sociales de apoyo en una muestra no probabilística de 63 adultos mayores que asisten a grupos de apoyo institucionales. Los resultados indican prevalencia de deterioro cognitivo de 9.5 %; 17 % de mujeres reporta depresión. Hay asociación entre continuar laborando y miedo a la muerte, así como entre ansiedad a la muerte y tener una enfermedad crónica-degenerativa, asimismo, existe correlación entre depresión y miedo al término de la vida, y al proceso y ocurrencia de la muerte de un familiar, que son los indicadores más altos de ansiedad. Los resultados se discuten con relación a diversos aspectos de género, situación del apoyo de red familiar y red social, así como acceso a los servicios de salud y de seguridad social.
