The Right of the Elderly to Integral Health

The book addresses the challenges faced by Brazil's aging population, highlighting the impact of increased life expectancy and declining birth rates on public health and social inequality. It explores the health deterioration that often accompanies aging, particularly after age 60, and emphasizes the need for effective legislation to safeguard the rights and dignity of the elderly. By examining the intersection of health, social justice, and legal frameworks, the work aims to illuminate the urgent need for reforms to support this vulnerable demographic.
