Associated with the introduction of new technologies in the medical area, these issues have been highly contributing for the increase of the population longevity. The numbers of the elderly in Brazil and in the world show female population predominance within the aging segment, a phenomenon known as the feminisation of the old-age . Aging, therefore, is nowadays one of the primary issues and that has been mobilizing the Brazilian s society, since the development raised from this new reality brought with it enormous challenges and complex social implications which are already felt in the daily lives of the societies. My work experience among some age groups has shown that aging is a much differentiated process which has instigated my interest in understanding why aging has to face an overwhelming and painful experience for some people and enriched and full of signification for others. Overviewing, this research aimed to understand the aging development through the analysis of the processes of signification and production of meaning that permeate the aging and the subjective well-being of three aged women participants of the Project Health and Citizenship on Third Age /CEFET-RN, that evidenced attitudes and behaviors concerning the integration and the activity toward the elderly population. The methodological strategy used was History of Life, starting from collecting data based on deep interviews. The analysis of data evidenced that the elderly well-being is a unique and distinct meaningful experience for each person, concerning each story of their lives within differentiated social, cultural, economic context, from this perspective one can demystify the concept of that aging occurs in a homogeneous way for everyone, everywhere and with the same rhythm. The narratives presented in this research showed the human development as being a dialectic, discursive and interactionist process which extends throughout the adult life and continues to the aging life. The guarantee that development and aging are a parallel phenomenon always in interdependence on the preceding phases of live, are corroborated within the studies. This present study confirms that the elderly population can be a phase of growth, personal realization and continued development, without disrespecting the heterogeneous and the subjectivity of the person who ages. Notifying those healthy and well-succeeded aging experiences, this issue has the intention to contribute to demystify the concept of aging as a social problem, illness needed to be treated, and the stereotypy of the elderly being dependent and unproductive / O aumento da popula??o idosa no Brasil e no mundo ? hoje uma realidade incontest?vel, fruto de significativas quedas nas taxas de mortalidade e fecundidade, decorrentes de uma destacada melhoria na qualidade de vida das pessoas. Associados ? introdu??o de novas tecnologias na ?rea m?dica, estes contextos v?m contribuindo de forma relevante para o aumento da longevidade das popula??es. Os n?meros da velhice no Brasil e no mundo exibem uma predomin?ncia da popula??o feminina junto ao segmento idoso, num fen?meno conhecido como feminiza??o da velhice . O envelhecimento, portanto, ? hoje uma quest?o priorit?ria e que vem mobilizando a sociedade brasileira, uma vez que as demandas geradas por essa nova realidade trazem consigo enormes desafios e implica??es sociais complexas que j? se fazem sentir no cotidiano das sociedades. Minha experi?ncia de trabalho junto a grupos de idosos tem mostrado que o envelhecimento ? um processo muito diferenciado, o que instigou meu interesse em compreender por que a velhice revela-se uma experi?ncia angustiante e penosa para algumas pessoas e enriquecedora e plena de significa??es para outras. Diante disso, esta pesquisa objetivou compreender a viv?ncia da velhice atrav?s da an?lise dos processos de significa??o e gera??o de sentidos que permeiam o envelhecimento e o bem-estar subjetivo de tr?s mulheres idosas participantes do Projeto Sa?de e Cidadania na Terceira Idade/CEFET-RN, que evidenciavam atitudes e comportamentos voltados para a integra??o e a atividade, diante da velhice. Utilizou-se a estrat?gia metodol?gica de Hist?ria de Vida, sendo a coleta de dados desenvolvida a partir de entrevistas em profundidade. A an?lise dos dados evidenciou que o bem-estar na velhice ? uma experi?ncia significada de maneira ?nica e distinta para cada pessoa, a partir de sua hist?ria de vida e do contexto social, cultural e econ?mico em que ela se insere, desmistificando assim a id?ia de que o envelhecimento acontece de maneira homog?nea para todos, em todos os lugares e no mesmo ritmo. As narrativas apresentadas nesta pesquisa revelaram o desenvolvimento humano como sendo um processo dial?tico, discursivo e interacionista que se estende por toda a vida adulta e prossegue na velhice. Corroboraram-se os estudos que garantem que desenvolvimento e envelhecimento s?o fen?menos paralelos, sempre em interdepend?ncia com as etapas precedentes da vida. Este trabalho confirma que a velhice pode ser uma fase de crescimento, realiza??o pessoal e desenvolvimento continuado, sem desconsiderar a heterogeneidade e a subjetividade das experi?ncias do sujeito que envelhece. Ao abordar experi?ncias de envelhecimento saud?vel e bem-sucedido, esta pesquisa tem a inten??o de contribuir para a desconstru??o da vis?o da velhice enquanto problema social, enquanto doen?a que precisa ser tratada, e do estere?tipo do velho enquanto ser dependente e improdutivo
