Abstract

The following study will present the results of the systematic review of the literature around the concept of healthy aging, considering that the way many adults age is a concern due to the repercussions on health as they age. As a result, a search was carried out in some databases such as Pubmed.ncbi, ScienceDirect, Medline, BIREME - Regional Portal of the VHL, e-Book of the University of Panama, Scholarly Journals, academic Google, official pages of international organizations such as PAHO, WHO, and ECLAC, articles in scielo.org, Specialized Journals of Geriatrics, Gerontology and Public Health. Next, empirical and theoretical studies related to aging were selected to analyze the concept. It is concluded that the Decade of Healthy Aging 2021-2030 is a proposal focused on four spheres of fundamental actions to protect the health and well-being which are strongly connected to each other, which seek to improve the lives of older people, their families, and communities. And from research, the proposal constitutes a challenge for the discipline and the Nursing profession by generating care based on theories that facilitate the understanding and approach to the phenomenon. Likewise, in technical cooperation at the national and international level, in the health of the elderly population and global policies. This systematic review allows us to identify the essential dimensions of the healthy aging concept, which are summarized in three dimensions. 1. Functional, physical, and mental capacity, which allows the adult to be and do what they prefer, 2. An attitude that does not emphasize chronological age as an impediment to achieving goals, 3. The systematic practice of promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing chronic non-communicable diseases.
