Abstract
Malaysia is heading towards becoming an aged nation. By 2030, senior citizens may comprise 15 per cent of the population. Ageing is a cause to celebrate because it reflects the success of public health and healthcare initiatives, but it also comes with challenges. For instance, a growing number of senior citizens will lead to a higher number of chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, hypertension, stroke and cancer. Another issue related to ageing is cognitive decline, which can manifest as dementia.
