UiTM, Faculty of Business and Management (2021) Healthcare utilisation among older persons in Malaysia: the mediating role of health literacy. Bulletin. UiTM, Shah Alam.

Abstract

The relationship between the sociodemographic characteristics of the older persons and healthcare utilisation is well established. However, the process underlying this relationship is poorly understood particularly in the Malaysian context. This study intends to fill the gaps in preceding healthcare utilisation studies. Based on the synthesis of available literature, the mediating variable of health literacy on the relationship between age and healthcare utilisation was examined.
