Journal Title: Revista Científica Estudiantil de Ciencias Médicas de Matanzas - Year 2024, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: the aging process is a necessary topic to address and discuss for the broad social sectors related to comprehensive care for older adults. It constitutes a challenge for modern societies, and the need for policy and social strategy changes that enable healthy aging. Objective: to explain the significance of aging and its impact on Cuban society. Methods: a bibliographic review was carried out using a total of 24 bibliographies from Scielo, PubMed, and the Google Scholar search engine. The selection criterion was the most recent literature in accordance with the novelty of the topic. Development: currently, aging continues to be a taboo topic in society. Saying that someone is old is almost impolite, and people try to be kind by saying expressions such as "you look great" to avoid acknowledging the reality of aging. However, it has a significant impact on society. Conclusions: population aging globally represents a challenge that imposes great challenges on states by generating significant transformations in all spheres of social, economic, and cultural life. It is essential to value aging with a broad vision of society as a whole for quality comprehensive care that people demand as they age, and to achieve satisfactory and inclusive longevity for all.
