There exists a presence of negative stereotypes within 37% of the cases, no differences existed between the groups. The presence of negative stereotypes was greater in comparison to South American studies; likewise, the CENVE score was greater than those obtained in studies performed in Spain and Costa Rica. The most affected dimension differs in regards to international and national studies where the most affected dimension is health. Conclusions: Elevated negative stereotypes prevail within the population studied; the most affected dimension was that of Character-Personality. The implementation of programs starting on basic education is recommended, programs favoring socio-emotional skill-building that serve to decrease ageism.
