| Sumario: | This study aims to identify the Advanced Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (AIADL), which are present in the choices and activities of elderly centenarians living in the mesoregion of the Greater Florianópolis Area, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. It also aims to show AIADL as mediators of life habits, which can expand the individuation process among elderly centenarians. This study is a descriptive and qualitative research and used as a basis the question “What is your daily life like at the age of 100 or older?”. Based on the analysis of the responses from eight (8) subjects, we observed that the leisure activities, daily tasks and social roles experienced by elderly centenarians during their lifetime influence their choices and their satisfaction with the activities they perform in their present everyday life. The subjects highlighted the fact that, through advanced instrumental activities, they seek capacity and power towards individuation. To them, the desire of living a full life through the diversity of ageing is to continue desiring with an opinion and willingness to make decisions about their own life. |
