Malaysians today are generally healthier, live longer, and are better disposed to be more productive. The overall level of health attained is one of the key measures of the success of our country. Good health enables Malaysians to lead productive and fulfilling lives. In addition, a high level of health contributes to increased prosperity and overall social stability. Population Structure The population of Malaysia in 2009 was 28.31 million with an average annual population growth rate of 2.1 per 100 populations. The total population in 2009 increased by 0.58 million as compared to 27.73 million recorded in 2008. The geographical distribution of population showed that Selangor had the highest population of 5.17 million, while Federal Territory of Labuan recorded the lowest population of 0.09 million (Table 1). However, Kelantan and Terengganu recorded the highest average annual population growth rate of 2.4 per 100 populations, followed by Sabah and Johor, while Federal Territories Kuala Lumpur and Labuan recorded the lowest annual growth rate of 1.6 each. In 2009, 63.7% out of the total population lived in urban area, while 36.3% lived in rural area (Table 2). Overall, the population in Malaysia is relatively young, with 41.1% of the total population were below 20 years of age, and only 7.2 % of the population aged 60 years and above (Table 2). In 2009, the economically-productive population which consists of population aged 15 to 64 years was 18.0 million or 63.6% of the total population, while the economically dependent i.e age below 15 years, and 65 years and above, was 10.3 million or 36.4% of the total population. 8 Ministry of Health Malaysia Annual Report 2009 TABLE 1.

Source: Department of Statistics, Malaysia Health status can be gauged by the use of health status indicators. Indicators such as life expectancy at birth, mortality and morbidity status of the country were among the indicators that can be measured, and serve as an indication of the state of health of individuals, and thus the health of the overall population. Life Expectancy at Birth Life expectancy is a measure of the number of years, on an average, that a person can expect to live. With the improvement in the nutritional and socio-economic status of the population, Malaysians can expect to live much longer than in the past. The estimated life expectancy at birth in 2009 has increased to 72.0 years for male and 76.8 years for female as compared to 70.0 years for male and 74.6 years for female recorded in 2000 (Figure 1). 10 Ministry of Health Malaysia Annual Report 2009 FIGURE 1.

These data provide a comprehensive picture of the health of the community, since it covers every individual. Many different types of measures are used to provide views of health from differing perspectives. For the past 41 years (1968-2009), the mortality rates in Malaysia had been decreasing. In 2009, the estimated crude death rate per 1,000 population had decreased to 4.5 as compared to 7.2 recorded in 1968. The trend of maternal mortality ratio (MMR), infant mortality rate (IMR) and neonatal mortality rate (NMR) in Malaysia are shown in Table 3.
