Abstract

The rapid pace of ageing raises concerns regarding financial security, health and long-term care and place for older people to live as they age. This paper examined the factors associated with preference to age in place (AIP) among 2231 respondents aged 60 and older from the Malaysia Ageing and Retirement Survey (MARS). The Categorical Principal Component Analysis (CATPCA) was utilized to identify variables that represent family supports, social connectedness and social participation. 75% of the respondents indicated that they would like to age in place with the binary logistic regression showing a greater likelihood among respondents with strong family and social connectedness, having a spouse, being non-Chinese and being in a good health condition. Urban respondents, with a high individual capacity and social participation, are less likely to age in place. There is a need to strengthen the family institutions and communities, providing incentives and support to promote ageing in place and empower them to remain sustainable for future generations.

马来西亚老年人居家养老的准备情况

老龄化的快速发展引起了人们对老年人的经济保障、健康和长期护理以及居家养老问题的关注。本文研究了马来西亚老龄化与退休调查（MARS）中 2231 名 60 岁及以上受访者选择居家养老（AIP）的相关因素。本文采用分类主成分分析法（CATPCA）来确定代表家庭支持、社会联系和社会参与的变量。75%的受访者表示愿意居家养老，二元逻辑回归结果显示，家庭和社会联系紧密、有配偶、非华裔和健康状况良好的受访者居家养老的可能性更大。而个人能力强、社会参与度高的城市受访者则不太愿意居家养老。有必要加强家庭机构和社区，提供激励和支持，以促进居家养老，并使他们有能力为子孙后代保持可持续发展。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
