Population aging is a global phenomenon in the 21st century and has changed the demographic profile of many countries. Malaysia is also keeping pace with other countries when it comes to its aging population, something the country is also gradually experiencing. Malaysia's elderly population is expected to increase from 5% in 2010 to 11.4% in 2040 (Department of Statistics Malaysia, 2010). This is due to improved health, low mortality and fertility rates, combined with increased life expectancy during the second half of the 20th century (Phillips and Chan, 2002). With this, interest in wellness later in life and how to achieve it has intensified. Health as defined by the World Health Organization is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (WHO, 1985). Birren (1999) argues that in human aging, sequences of biological, behavioral, and social environmental factors influence both lifespan and well-being. Thus, quality of life is widely accepted as an indicator of successful aging and is monitored as a means of measuring the effectiveness of social policies, welfare programs, and health care. Aging is distinguished from disease by the fact that it is universal. Multiple pathologies resulting in multiple, often non-specific symptoms are a common phenomenon among older people (Arokiasamy, 1996). Few elderly people escape the accumulation of chronic pathologies and long-term non-fatal diseases, of a degenerative nature, as they age. According to Mental Health Quality of Life (MHQoL), 49.6% of elderly Malaysians suffer from at least one to two chronic diseases and 22.3% of the elderly population have more paper..... .and a multidisciplinary approach to implement policies, programs and activities related to areas such as housing education, transportation, taxation and income security that will improve the quality of life of the aging population and promote healthy aging health. This would require coordination and linkages between policy planners, administrators, service providers and the research community; between individuals and groups of elderly people. The planning, development, delivery and evaluation of the services and activities provided will require the availability of robust evidence bases and relevant research. It is important that older people remain integrated into society and that they themselves have a say in the formulation and implementation of policies that directly affect their well-being, while sharing their knowledge, skills and their wisdom with society, and in particular with the younger generation..
