Resumo(s)
Culture is intrinsically linked to the values of society. Politics dictates our
evolution of society through choices and omissions. Older people and their
perceived value to the world must be a global priority. Still, the West has not
valued this age group wisely and fairly. The data indicate that the impact of
social circumstances on the quality of life of the elderly has not been of
paramount importance. Investment in the scientific biosocial approach has
been deficient compared to the biomedical approach. However, it has had
the most significant positive impact on living standards and longevity. We
recognise that the funding of the biosocial approach is not considered as
competitive as the biomedical approach, because the methodology of the
social sciences is fundamentally different. Public policy lacks accuracy
because science cannot overrule political power. Accordingly, from 2021 to
2030, the United Nations Organization has named the decade of healthy
ageing. Healthcare, as a pillar of social governance and respect for the lives
of the elderly, believes that it is vital to have the necessary social support to
prosper. On the basis of these circumstances, this research paper outlines
the importance of focusing on the social aspect of living and ageing in
assessing this age group. Healthy ageing has reflected improved living
standards, and increased longevity must become a political priority. This
article highlights the concept of political longevity initiatives and how to
observe them from an ethical point of view of social science results in a
different picture of society. The different perspectives that we present are
useful for the modern science of public health. Radar is a current Portuguese
initiative as a political project involving public and social institutions. We
analyse this project, focusing on the importance of making healthy global
ageing a political option.
