Introduction. The world population experiences an increase in Elders (PAM) from 12% to 22% by the year 2050. An increase in mental health diseases, such as depression, anxiety and stress are seen in this population group. Objective.

Conducted through the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA); Randomized and non-randomized clinical trials of articles with the application of Mindfulness-based techniques that had an effect on mental health were included; search carried out in the databases: MedLine/PubMed, Wiley, Science Direct, Virtual Library of Health (BVS) and others; risk of bias assessment according to Cochrane guidelines. Results. 13 articles were included where it was found that Mindfulness-based techniques have a positive effect on the mental health of the PAM, where the MBSR was the most used technique.
