“…The authors also noted that promoting PA as an opportunity for social connection among older adults is an effective strategy to attend to the social needs of community-dwelling individuals who live alone [ 14 , 23 , 27 , 63 ]. Multiple-component interventions delivered in person are effective ways to promote healthy aging in older Latino adults by considering the many physical, social, and emotional needs that this population has [ 14 , 63 , 64 ]. Future interventions should keep at the forefront the many intertwined factors that determine a healthy aging process [ 14 , 60 , 64 ], as a multicomponent intervention can help address the various needs of older Latino adults, rather than only addressing one factor in isolation.…”

In the United States (US), Latino individuals older than 50 years face health disparities compared to their White counterparts. Considering the rising life expectancy and the projected increase of older Latino adults in the US, this scoping review aimed to determine the effectiveness of theory-based and culturally relevant strategies that promote healthy aging in Latinos. Web of Science and PubMed databases were searched between December 2022 and February 2023 for peer-reviewed articles assessing healthy aging interventions tailored to community-dwelling aging Latino adults. We included nine studies describing the effects of seven interventions on physical activity- or nutrition-related outcomes. Although not always statistically significant, interventions had a beneficial impact on well-being indicators. The most commonly used behavioral theories were Social Cognitive Theory and Attribution Theory. Latino cultural elements in these studies included partnering with community organizations that serve Latinos (such as Catholic churches), delivery of in-person bilingual group sessions by trusted community members (such as promotoras or Latino dance instructors), and incorporating values such as family and religion into the health curriculum, among others. Future strategies that promote healthy aging in Latino adults should proactively culturally adapt the theoretical foundations and the design, recruitment, and implementation processes to ensure their relevance and effectiveness.

“…Hay quienes destacan que el término "envejecimiento activo" fue empleado por primera vez en los años noventa (Herrera-Cuenca et al, 2018;Ramos-Monteagudo et al, 2016), para sustituir la noción de envejecimiento saludable enfocada en el ámbito sanitario por una comprensión más integral del envejecimiento individual y poblacional (oms, 2002). La propuesta contemplaba la productividad, la calidad de vida integral y la inclusión social de las personas mayores (Cambero-Rivero & Baigorri-Agoiz, 2019).…”

“…Finalmente, las autoras distinguen el EA del envejecimiento saludable porque este último se ocupa solamente del ámbito sociosanitario, asociado al campo biomédico, mientras que el foco del EA es promover la actividad. Sin embargo, otros/as autores/as utilizan los dos términos indistintamente (Caro-Puga, 2013;Herrera-Cuenca et al, 2018;Hoskins et al, 2005;Reyes-Torres & Castillo-Herrera, 2011;Salazar, 2020).…”

“…Según Manes et al (2019), la cidhpm de 2015 incentiva la promoción del EA en todos los ámbitos de la vida de las personas mayores. Además, buscan la integración social y que las personas estén menos susceptibles a riesgos (Ramírez & Cruz, 2010, p. 90), utilizan la perspectiva de ciclo de vida y reconocen la heterogeneidad entre las personas mayores (Herrera-Cuenca et al, 2018).…”

Buscamos identificar las perspectivas sobre la vejez en la producción académica relativa a las políticas públicas para el envejecimiento en Latinoamérica. Realizamos una revisión sistemática de 82 fuentes bibliográficas publicadas entre 2000 y 2020 y las analizamos a la luz de una perspectiva crítica y feminista, por medio de un análisis cualitativo de contenido. A partir de este, caracterizamos a la vejez desde los principales paradigmas relacionados con el diseño de las políticas públicas para las personas mayores en la región (asistencialistas, envejecimiento activo, enfoques de derechos humanos y de género). Asimismo, constatamos la necesidad de incorporar un enfoque interseccional a las políticas públicas para la vejez que reconozca la heterogeneidad existente en el proceso de envejecer. Finalmente, reflexionamos sobre el desafío de construir perspectivas situadas localmente que aborden las desigualdades que caracterizan los territorios latinoamericanos.

“…It may also be true that low-income nations in poverty may never become wealthy (3,4). Furthermore, since the old age population is made up of people with varying ages, capacities, and uneven traits, their growth will also result in a rise in the need for health services and support to deal with issues connected to chronic diseases and impairments (5). However, there is a scarcity of data on the livelihoods, health status, accessibility of healthcare for older people, and current situation of older people in Africa.…”

Introduction: Understanding ageing and how it is perceived from the perspective of aged people can help one gain a deeper and more accurate understanding of the phenomenon as well as of the demands and challenges that they face. However, this is rare in Ethiopia. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to explore the living experiences of old age people in Bahir Dar City, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods and materials: A hermeneutic phenomenological study design was conducted from January 1 to 15, 2022. An in-depth interview was conducted with 12 old age people chosen based on heterogeneous purposive sampling. In addition, a typical case of purposive sampling was used to select four key informants from different offices in Bahir Dar City. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, following the recommended steps for qualitative data analysis. Lincoln and Guba's criteria were used to increase the trustworthiness of the findings. Finally, this research followed the standards for reporting qualitative research to report the findings. Results: The study revealed nine main themes: definition of old age, perception of old age and healthy ageing; daily activities and community participation; health-related conditions; healthcare service utilization and barriers; nutritional concerns; and availability and types of support. Participants observed old age a change of body appearance, physical and mental activities, and/or expected social roles. Similarly, healthy ageing entails the absence of disease along with physical activity, spiritual wellbeing, and social interaction. The study participants complained about a variety of health-related issues that interfered with their daily activities, community participation, and dietary practices. Furthermore, participants reported receiving various forms of support from various bodies, but they were dissatisfied with the coverage and adequacy of support, and they perceived that traditional values and norms were gradually eroding. Conclusion: The study participants perceived the blessings and challenges of old age. They perceived that older people are seen as a burden to the family and society at large. Therefore, policymakers and stakeholders should offer comprehensive strategies to improve health outcomes and support effective ageing.
