  • In older adults, lifestyle plays an important role in adaptation to cope with the coronavirus pandemic during isolation and quarantine at home, so its research objective is to determine the lifestyle during the pandemic of COVID - 19 in older adults in a district of North Lima. It is a quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental cross-sectional study, with a total population of 176 adults over 60 years of age, who answered a questionnaire of sociodemographic data and the lifestyle instrument. The results show the lifestyle of older adults, where 38 (21.6%) have a lifestyle in a danger zone, 21 (11.9%) have a low lifestyle, 89 (50.6%) have an adequate lifestyle and 28 (15.9%) have a fantastic lifestyle. In conclusion, strategies should be sought or developed to improve both physical and eating activities in older adults at home.
