Resumo: This article’s main objective is to discuss, from a literature review, the concept of elderly people faced with the paradigms of contemporary capitalist society. Our specific objectives were to evaluate if only age is an indicator for defining an individual as elderly, pinpoint the relationship between health, physical activity and aging; differentiate between third and fourth ages and to discuss the importance of age as a determining factor for leaving the workforce. It is noticeable that public policies and social, economic and health factors are fundamental and that this debate and social struggle permeate the maintenance and surpassing of an age-related status quo which legitimates a certain age as being important for the perpetuation of the system, pitting politic and economic interests against the unequal needs of those that age in different life conditions.

Tivemos como objetivos específicos avaliar se somente a idade é um indicativo para definir o indivíduo como idoso; apontar a relação entre saúde, atividade física e envelhecimento; diferenciar terceira e quarta idade; discutir a importância da idade como fator determinante para a saída do mundo do trabalho. Pôde-se perceber que políticas públicas, fatores socioeconômicos, e de saúde, são fundamentais, e que este debate e a luta social permeiam a manutenção e superação de um status quo etário que legitima determinada idade como importante para a perpetuação do sistema, através de uma disputa entre os interesses políticos e econômicos contra as necessidades desiguais daqueles que envelhecem em diferentes condições de vida.  Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2015-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/2765010.23925/2176-901X.2015v18i2p351-374Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 18 n. 2 (2015); 351-3742176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/27650/19498Telles, SilvioElias, Rodrigo VilelaReis, RômuloLutz, Thulyoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-12-13T18:58:28Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/27650Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2022-12-13T18:58:28Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
