Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final paper studies the impact of population change on the Malaysia's government provided long term care programs. The number of people requiring long term care in Malaysia is projected up to the year 2040 using the multiple state method from Rickayzen & Walsh (2002). The method has been applied in developed nations (Leung 2004, Hariyanto et al. 2013) and a developing country (Bueno 2013). Rickayzen & Walsh's 2002 methods are extended in this paper to allow the estimation of mortality improvement based on Malaysian historical time-series data. The future long term care costs are also estimated, providing valuable information to policy makers if the current policy continues unchanged. In addition, the cost effectiveness of current programs is estimated and compared with an Asian developed nation, Japan. We make use of WHS (2002) survey data to estimate the health utility index for elderly living in public institutional care.

This book was released on 1989 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the levels, processes and trends in population ageing in Malaysia. Population ageing is seen to be a response primarily to demographic transition, or more specifically as the effect of two major demographic developments, the decline in fertility and improved mortality especially of the aged, which have occured in Malaysia especially since 1970. Given the multi-ethnic composition of the country, and their levels of demographic transition, ethnic differentials in population ageing are also analyzed, especially those of the predominant groups, Malay, Chinese and Indian. The paper concludes with an examination of Malaysia as a whole, especially the policy requirements created by this socio-demographic phenomenon. [Author's abstract].

This book combines social, clinical, and health sciences, covering qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method approaches regarding potential business activities, health and financial well-being, and also clinical tests, solutions and proposals that will improve elderly health and care. So, this diverse scope of research will allow more readers, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and the public to better grasp issues affecting the elderly. The findings will impact personal health and well-being, care service business, knowledge expansion, and application.
