Abstract: The present study focuses on analyzing the correlation between anxiety before death and the meaning of life, as well as the possible influence of sociodemographic factors. The sample, 272 subjects, was obtained through an anonymous questionnaire, disseminated by messaging applications and social networks, which included three instruments: an ad hoc questionnaire, the Death Anxiety Scale and the Purpose in life Test. The results showed a negative and weak correlation. Regarding the possible influence of the sociodemographic variables, there were significant differences in anxiety before death according to sex and in the sense of life according to age and income. In conclusion, a correlation has been found between anxiety about death and the meaning of life. As it is a field little studied in the general population, it would be interesting to carry out future research.
