The impact of aging on the profile of women from 60 years and older

Abstract

The present work had as its theme the impact of aging in women over 60 years old, under the gerontological sphere in which we find ourselves, in which the stereotype of beauty has been quite widespread, the elderly bring us a questioning of how their personal perception of aging is faced in current times. This paper aimed to address the issues pertinent to the aging process in women, where we are faced with a growing population of elderly people. The methodology applied was a quali-quantitative approach with women aged 60 years or more. We approached the perception of aging and concluded that most of them are satisfied with their self-image. Possibly, living with family members must be a factor that adds to their participation in the social bond and care with self-esteem.
