OBS

The meaning of the concept of "well aging" varies according to the cultural context (individualistic/relational societies), to the actors' perspectives (researcher/elderly) and according to the dominant approach (biomedical/holistic).

  • Médecine générale
CONT

Le bien vieillir est un concept difficile à circonscrire dans un seul énoncé, même si la plupart des auteurs mettent l'accent sur le maintien de l'autonomie fonctionnelle, surtout le fonctionnement physique, mental et social. De plus, on relève au moins trois oppositions dans toute tentative de définir le bien vieillir : culturelle (Occident/autres), de perspective (chercheurs/personnes âgées), de contenu (biomédical/holistique).
