Abstract
ABSTRACT In 2030, Brazil will have the fifth largest population on the planet. Currently, the country has 211.8 million inhabitants. Thus, promoting healthy aging is a fundamental political and social strategy. The objective of this paper is to present the public policies created in Brazil in the last 30 years to promote healthy aging, considering challenges such as demographic transition, socioeconomic diversity, and territorial extension. This is a literature review study carried out on the LILACS, MEDLINE, and SciELO databases and a collection of information from Brazilian government websites and international institutions in the area of health and social development. The findings show that, since 1990, policies have been implemented, including the Unified Health System, the Family Health Strategy, the Family Health Support Center, the Municipal Academy Program, and the Third Age Universities. This can broaden and qualify the understanding of how health policies for older adults evolve globally.
