Abstract

Despite an increase in average life expectancy among the population due to rapid economic development, there is an epidemic increase in the cases of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) including diabetes, hypertension and stroke, which has caused over 1000 deaths over the years. This study aims to add research contribution by investigating the impact of factors of HPB on elderly health diseases. The target population is Malaysian elderly aged 60 years and above. As an ethnic diversity is an important feature of Malaysia, this study includes all the major ethnicity (such as Malay, Chinese and Indian). The sampling frame chosen includes Perak, Penang, Malacca and Kuala Lumpur, as they have been recorded as some of the states with older populations. This study employed the Logistic Regression Model for analysing the data. 400 questionnaires have been administered. The result indicated that elderly health diseases is significantly affected by the factors of HPB. Hence, Health promotion in health care services for elderly needs active support. Findings suggest that more elderly Health Promotion programs and healthcare policies can be the tools to the empowerment of elderly health condition.

Notes

  1. NCDs are non-transmissible illnesses that last for long periods of time. These diseases can be caused by genetic, physiological, environmental and behavioral factors.

  2. “Behaviourally modifiable” risk factors are those risk factors that individuals are able to change, e.g. dietary behavior

  3. Health-promoting behaviors represent those actions taken by individuals with the aim of achieving favourable health outcomes (Chiou et al. 2016).
