Abstract

This bibliographical review aimed to relate educational measures for the promotion of skin integrity in older
adults with the Health Promotion Charters. The search was performed in the databases CINAHL, SCOPUS, LILACS
and COCHRANE, in the CAPES and BVS portals and in the PUBMED library, using the descriptors Health Education;
Skin and Aged. The results from the 7 articles analyzed indicate, as the principle educative measures, daily inspection of
the skin, care with footwear and the feet, regular use of sunblock and changes in supine position. These measures were
related to the following Charters for Health Promotion: Ottawa, the Declaration of Bogotá and the Jakarta Declaration. It
is concluded that educational measures, based on the Charters, are highly relevant for the creation of a culture of health,
with focus on the population and individual as essential operative agents for the achievement of health promotion.
