Abstract:

It is an integrative review that analyzes the scientific productions and legal documents about public policies for the elderly in Brazil. We conducted a research in the databases of the Virtual Health Library and Scopus, considering publications since 2003. Data were collected from June to September of 2011 using the following descriptors: “idosos” (elderly), "políticas públicas" ("public policy"), "pessoa idosa" ("elderly person"), “envelhecimento” (aging) and "participação cidadã "(" citizen participation "). The search resulted in the selection of 15 articles and six legal documents targeted to the elderly in Brazil that were submitted to content analysis by categorization. The results showed that aging in Brazil has occurred in the midst of adaptations entrenched with cultural biases, socio-economic and educational discrepancies and implementation of welfare public policies. Few studies that indicated the importance of strengthening social movements that stimulate discussions related to the elderly in our country. We concluded that the study will provide subsidies for reflections about the construction of a new reality about aging in Brazil.
