Abstract

To develop this article, a documentary review of the elaboration and production of research works related to the study of the Model of Structural Equations that allows predicting the Well-being  and l a Functional Dependence andn Older Adults in order to  know through a bibliometric study the main characteristics of 35 publications registered in Scopus database during the  period 2018-2022. The results of  this database were organized in graphs and figures categorizing the  information by variables such as Year of Publication, Country of Origin and Area of Knowledge which allowed to identify through a qualitative analysis, the position of different authors against the proposed theme. 


The main findings found through the present research was that the  United Kingdom and the United States stood out for having the highest scientific production, leading the list with 10 publications each.  Likewise, the Area of Knowledge that made the greatest contribution to the construction of bibliographic material related to the study of the variables was psychology with 17 published documents.
