ABSTRACT
This paper examines the factors influencing the health status among the elderly at Rumah Seri Kenangan (RSK), Pengkalan Chepa, Kelantan and RSK Bedong, Kedah. Correlation Analysis (CA), Decision Tree Analysis (DTA), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were used to determine the factor that might be associated with the health among the elderlies in both RSK. Through these methodologies, the health status factor will be assessed and validate simultaneously. Results from these analyses will be used as a benchmark for the decision making especially among the decision-maker to improve the level of quality which given to the elderly. The utmost finding from this study, it provides very useful information to the health caregiver for future management action plan and to improve the existing management system of an elderly.
