Abstract

Introduction: Quality of Life (QOL) is essential for healthy aging and through the WHOQOL-Old, it is possible to analyze factors that increase vulnerability and reduce QOL. Aligned with healthy aging is Potter's global bioethics proposing expanded ethics and social justice.

Objective: To analyze the QOL of Brazilian elderly from the perspective of Potteŕs global bioethics.

Method: Analytical observational research with a quantitative approach composed of 280 Brazilian, aged 60 or over, of both gender, volunteers, who answered the WHOQOL-Old online.

Result: Global score of 77.9%, with the mean ± standard deviation: Functioning of the senses 86% (17.22 ± 2.80); Autonomy 78.5% (15.7 ± 2.60); Past, present, and future activities 77.3% (15.46 ± 2.34); Social participation 74.9% (14.99 ± 2.62); Death and dying 71.6% (14.33 ± 3.88) and Intimacy 79.1% (15.82 ± 2.82).

Conclusion: Elderly perceived their QOL positively. In the quest to promote healthy aging, it is necessary to broaden the vision for social justice proposed by Potteŕs global bioethics.

巴西老年人的生活质量:波特全球生命伦理学视角下的健康老龄化分析

引言：生活质量（QOL）对健康老龄化至关重要，通过WHOQOL老年人，可以分析增加脆弱性和降低生活质量的因素。与健康老龄化相一致的是波特的全球生物伦理学，提出了扩大伦理和社会正义。目的：从波特的全球生命伦理学角度分析巴西老年人的生活质量。方法：采用定量方法进行分析性观察性研究，由280名60岁或以上的巴西男女志愿者组成，他们在网上回答了WHOQOL Old。结果：总分77.9%，平均 ± 标准偏差：感官功能86%（17.22 ± 2.80）；自主性78.5%（15.7 ± 2.60）；过去、现在和未来的活动77.3%（15.46 ± 2.34）；社会参与率74.9%（14.99 ± 2.62）；死亡和死亡71.6%（14.33 ± 3.88）和亲密关系79.1%（15.82 ± 2.82）。结论：老年人对生活质量的感知是积极的。为了促进健康老龄化，有必要拓宽波特全球生物伦理学提出的社会正义视野。
