The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded that 9.38% of the elderly population still lived alone in 2019. However, the living conditions of the elderly are closely related to their healthcare. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 1977 described elderly people living alone as a high-risk group requiring special attention.
Meanwhile, BPS recorded that 20.03% of the elderly lived with their spouse last year. Furthermore, 27.3% lived with family, and 40.64% lived with three generations. Generally, the lives of the elderly living with a spouse and family are better cared for.
