Introducción: Determinar en qué medida la percepción de riesgo de contagio y letalidad del Covid-19 predice la experiencia de ansiedad, depresión y estrés en adultos mayores. Método: Estudio descriptivo, correlacional y explicativo de corte transversal por medio de metodología de encuestas. Participantes: 40 adultos mayores (67.5 % mujeres), con edades entre los 65 a 85 años (M = 73, DE = 5.68) pertenecientes a una asociación de jubilados de la ciudad de Quevedo, Ecuador. Resultados: Existe una débil correlación positiva entre los síntomas de ansiedad, estrés y depresión con la percepción de riesgo de contagio y de letalidad al Covid-19 entre los participantes. Además, estos elementos porcentuales del riesgo asociados al Covid-19, explican de manera significativa en los cambios de la varianza de la ansiedad, el estrés y la depresión en adultos mayores. Conclusión: La percepción de riesgo de contagio y de letalidad al Covid-19 son predictores del aparecimiento de síntomas de ansiedad, estrés y depresión en adultos mayores.
