ANDRADE ORREGO, Camila Fernanda. Old age and coordination of health support. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2020, vol.82, n.1, pp.65-91.  Epub 30-Jun-2020. ISSN 2594-0651.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iis.01882503p.2020.1.58061.

This article presents the results of qualitative research on the work of individuals and the coordination of support in old age, within the framework of the sociology of the individual. Interviews with autonomous older women from low-income sectors of Santiago de Chile showed that health is one of the dimensions posing the greatest challenge for them, which demands permanent efforts on their part and the constant coordination of support. The main forms of support identified are relational, public institutions and the use of medication, coupled with constant care and monitoring of themselves.

Palavras-chave : old age; individual; support.
