ABSTRACT

Background: population ageing raise important sanitary, economic, and work-related challenges. A healthier longevity and a better quality of life are the prime objectives to accomplish.
Objective: to show the determinants and contributions of active ageing implemented at international level.
Methods: a bibliographic review related to active ageing was conducted, in order to know its main contributions and the importance of its promotion. Data collection was carried out through the use of the following resources: magazines placed in databases, such as: PubMed, PsycInfo, Scopus, Proqest, Dialnet and Web of Science. Five books on active ageing approach, gerontology handbooks, and documents from the United Nations (UN) and World Health Organization (WHO) directly related to the topic were consulted.
Development: an assessment of paradigm of active ageing from its contributions and determinants. The European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations is one of the strategies developed for the promotion of this approach to old age.
Conclusions: development of institutional coordination policies is required for the protection from dependence. They should promote autonomy, participation and the right of elderly people to an active ageing. For the promotion of an active ageing, the implication of individuals and the whole society, as well as social policies are unavoidable.
