Abstract
O envelhecimento pode ser compreendido numa
perspetiva positiva a caminho de uma longevidade,
que se pretenda que seja digna, segura, feliz e com
qualidade de vida. A opção por investir em percursos
de envelhecimento saudável e ativo para todos é de
responsabilidade individual e social e tem impacto a
nível local e global. A tomada desta decisão permite
que as pessoas percebam o seu potencial a desenvolver, os cuidados a ter com a sua saúde e se disponibilizem para a promoção do seu próprio bem-estar. A Década do Envelhecimento Saudável (2020-2030) é uma
oportunidade para pensar melhor o envelhecimento,
concertar sinergias multidisciplinares, realizar adaptações e investimentos para promover o envelhecimento saudável, compreendido numa perspetiva de
desenvolvimento e manutenção da capacidade funcional, que permite o bem-estar na velhice. Essa capacidade funcional é determinada pela capacidade intrínseca de um indivíduo, pelo ambiente em que vive
e pelo as interações entre eles. O presente trabalho
tem como principal objetivo destacar como o envelhecimento saudável e ativo se encontra ligado à promoção da saúde, à aprendizagem ao longo da vida, à
monitorização das políticas públicas através das indicações do Active Ageing Index (AAI) e do AgeWatch
Index (AWI) e às comunidades pro-envelhecimento e
pró-longevidade. Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura para integrar as informações, gerando reflexões
que auxiliam a tomada de decisões e estratégias que
conduzam a boas práticas
Ageing can be understood from a positive perspective on the path to longevity, which is intended to be dignified, safe, happy and with quality of life. The choice to invest in healthy and active aging pathways for everyone is an individual and social responsibility and has an impact at a local and global level. Making this decision allows people to realize their potential to develop, the care they need to take with their health and to make themselves available to promote their own well-being. The Decade of Healthy Ageing (2020- 2030) is an opportunity to think better about ageing, coordinate multidisciplinary synergies, make adaptations and investments to promote healthy aging, understood from the perspective of developing and maintaining functional capacity, which allows for well-being in old age. This functional capacity is determined by an individual’s intrinsic capacity, by the environment in which he or she lives and by the interactions between them. The main objective of this work is to highlight how healthy and active aging is linked to health promotion, lifelong learning, monitoring public policies through the indications of the Active Ageing Index (AAI) and the AgeWatch Index (AWI ) and the pro-aging and pro-longevity communities. A literature review was carried out to integrate information, generating reflections that help decision-making and strategies that lead to good practices
