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). 1, record 1, French, - bien%20vieillir
