This book aims to open up discussion of research findings on ageing issues in Malaysia. The increasing ageing population is an issue across all nations. In due time, there will be more older adults as compared to children. Based on calculations made by the consulting group Deloitte, 60 per cent of Asia's population will be 65 years and above by 2030. The Department of Statistics Malaysia has projected that by 2040, the percentage of the elderly in Malaysia will increase to 14.5 per cent. 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.
