Abstract

This article provides a critical review of the understanding of health promotion strategies, as suggested by the World Health Organization for the elderly. It shows different approaches aimed at deconstructing such concept and suggests a counter-hegemonic way of understanding it, based on subjectivity, historicity, territoriality, decision-making capacity and social engagement in health-sickness-care of the elderly processes. From a theoretical standpoint, some considerations are suggested to view health promotion as a scientific generation field which can impact policy implementation and health training of occupational therapists, thereby developing effective tools for the care and wellbeing of the elderly, instead of just a replication of health care practices

Keywords:
