Abstract

Aging successfully is related to leading a healthy life and modifying lifestyles that may reflect chronic degenerative diseases; the older adult population defined in Guatemala as a person over sixty years of age. This population group needs attention to promote healthy aging in order to apply neuroscientific models aimed at the early detection of chronic diseases and appropriate treatment integrated by professionals from the neurosciences with a multidisciplinary approach that make up prevention and implementation plans for the success of aging which is to give quality of life. Timely care for healthy aging is valued by linking visual, auditory, cognitive, locomotor, psychological and vital capacity related to quality of care strategies that are responsible for providing the physical, mental and emotional well-being of the elderly by focusing on them to a more inclusive world towards the different disciplines of neuroscience. The approach to geriatric assessment by a multidisciplinary team is the strategic vision for the success of healthy aging.
