ARBOLEDA CAMPO, Víctor Hugo et al. Antifragility: A positive look at aging. Psychol. av. discip. [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.2, pp.45-61. Epub 19-Sep-2023. ISSN 1900-2386. https://doi.org/10.21500/19002386.5975.
This article intends to explore the concept of anti-fragility in the elderly, given the demographic change in the world, with evidence of the increase in the number of elderly people, which requires professionals linked to their care, to implement intervention models in accordance with their needs, related to their functional capacity and promotion of a culture of antifragility. The theoretical construction of what it means to be an anti-fragile older adult, in a society that assimilates aging with frailty, illness and disability, is an opportunity to present a positive view of health in old age, based on the adaptations to stress in different dimensions that influence the life of this population group, in which physical, psychological and social capital are integrated and influenced, in a process that is related to anti-fragility and aging as a continuum of life, with gains and losses; the study of this relationship will make it possible to have appropriate inclusive policies at each stage of life.
