This book analyzes the sociodemographic characteristics of older adults with disabilities in the municipality of Charaña, La Paz, Bolivia. Through a detailed approach, it examines the challenges faced by this population, including their living conditions, access to services, and specific needs. A valuable tool for researchers, health professionals, and those working on public policies focused on improving the quality of life of this vulnerable group.In a context where rurality and geographic isolation hinder the implementation of inclusive policies, this book highlights opportunities to strengthen social participation, equitable access to health and education, and the design of specific programs that promote active and dignified aging.Aimed at academics, health professionals, decision-makers and civil society organizations, the book invites reflection on the need for a comprehensive and inclusive approach in the care of older persons, especially those in vulnerable situations.
