Abstract: Objective: To analyze the concept of "active aging" according to the proposal of Walker and Avant.Method: The concept analysis was done through the eight steps proposed by Walker and Avant.The documentary research was applied in Google Academic, EBSCO and MEDLINE databases, and official pages of national and international organizations.Results: there is no definition as such except the definition of the World Health Organization, apparently a definition that transcends the person; In addition, the empirical indicators that have been used to assess active aging are diverse.Conclusions: It would be more useful for nursing to promote active aging with a more individualized and attainable definition for the adult and an indicator for its measurement.
