Abstract in brief

The study investigated how COVID-19 confinement measures in Spain affected cognition, mental health, and quality of life in vulnerable older adults with mild cognitive impairment or dementia, finding no significant decline compared to pre-pandemic assessments.
It examined the role of factors like living alone, changes in living arrangements, use of technology, and "technophilia" (attitude towards technology), exploring their association with health and social support during the pandemic.
Participants reported moderate stress levels during confinement, and the study highlighted the importance of ICTs for socialization, entertainment, and access to healthcare for older populations during periods of social restriction.]
