[…] les habitudes de vie, la situation socioéconomique et les environnements dans lesquels les personnes se développent conditionnent le vieillissement en santé de même que le maintien de l'autonomie.

CONT

[…] dans la perspective de la santé holistique de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé, le «bien vieillir» recouvre des aspects aussi divers que la santé à l'âge avancé, la sécurité financière à l'âge de la retraite, la violence faite aux aînés et la qualité de leur logement. Au-delà de l'individu, c'est donc tout le contexte dans lequel il grandit et vieillit que l'approche holistique intègre.
