The article aims to analyze the possibilities of promoting healthy aging in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research refers to an integrative review that includes the identification and analysis of scientific publications about the promotion of healthy aging in the face of the challenges of the pandemic of COVID-19. Eight (08) articles were selected from those surveyed, which culminated in the approach of three categories: SOCIAL ISOLATION X VULNERABILITY OF THE ELDERLY, MENTAL HEALTH X COVID-19 and NURSING ACTIONS FOR HEALTHY AGING, where it was possible to understand the importance of promoting healthy aging mainly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, where social isolation creates barriers in communication, in activities of daily living and in nursing care.
