Abstract

Currently, due to the growth of cities, a sedentary lifestyle, and increase in life expectancy, multiple approaches are being analyzed on caring for the well-being of older adults. As part of these efforts, initiatives have been developed to measure full aging. The active ageing index (AAI) proposed by the United Nations (UN) is one of the most relevant measures; it was constructed using several lifestyle features. However, it is relevant to identify whether the initiative of AAI is being adopted around the world, emphasizing the frameworks and technological instruments for its execution, thus this work presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) for collecting data related to AAI’s adoption by means of a qualitative analysis. The results reinforced that the UN index is the one with the greatest impact; however, other countries and organizations are proposing other approaches. On the other hand, the European Union countries are at the forefront in the development, specifically since 2015. A qualitative analysis demonstrated that specific features have a greater impact on its calculation, highlighting participation in society, people’s educational achievements, and access to health services. Finally, the review shows insights for an analysis stage, but not yet the implementation phase.
