[…] 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.

  • Sociology of Old Age
  • General Medicine

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sociologie de la vieillesse
  • 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).
