The population aging in the region is occurring under scenarios of inequality, raising concerns about how the increase in life expectancy is experienced and what factors affect the quality of life of older adults. This research quantified the differentials of healthy aging in Colombia in 2018 and its association with social indicators through a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational observational study. Healthy aging was quantified using the Disability-Free Life Expectancy (DFLE) indicator and later correlated with social indicators and subjected to a Multiple Factor Analysis (MFA). The results showed a healthy life expectancy of 71.5 years for women and 66.9 years for men, with a disability expectancy of 8.3 and 6.4 years, respectively. Negative associations emerged with health problems, disability, lack of medical care, illiteracy, school absenteeism, and poverty, while higher education levels and retirement showed positive associations. The factor analysis by area of residence highlighted urban areas as conducive to healthy aging. In conclusion, the accelerated aging of the Colombian population faces health disparities that policies must address by improving education, economic security, and health services, especially for women and rural areas.
