Year: 00/07/2026
Abstract: The issue of dementia is not a new matter, but if it is not managed, it can affect the health of the population and subsequently lead to increased dementia treatment costs. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between a healthy lifestyle and the risk of dementia among the elderly in the northern zone as a preparation for the aging nation in 2030. The study findings show that the majority of the elderly face chronic health problems and rely on caregivers. The results also found that the effects of a healthy lifestyle and social well-being can reduce the risk of dementia. Thus, to ensure the well-being of the elderly is maintained and to reduce dementia problems among them, the development of inclusive community programs, increasing health literacy, as well as physical, mental, and social well-being programs to maintain the quality of life need to be carried out. Cooperation from various parties is very important to ensuring that the quality of life for the elderly is maintained.

Perlis menuju negeri menua: transformasi keluarga dan cabaran masa depan
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/07/2026
Abstract: Population Dynamics of Perlis – With a small demographic scale and a population of around 297,800 people, even small changes in birth rates or migration have a big impact on the age structure. There's also the phenomenon of out-migration, where young people leave to look for career opportunities in more developed states, leaving an increasingly older community in Perlis. The aging process is speeding up because the combination of a low Total Fertility Rate (TFR) and youth migration causes the elderly dependency ratio to rise faster. Perlis is at risk of being one of the states to age earlier in Malaysia if there are no long-term strategic interventions. Some suggested policies and strategic directions include Perlis population policy, which is about integrating fertility, migration, and aging issues into the state's development planning.
