The general health profiles of Singaporeans are reviewed, with particular focus on their relationship with different demographic factors. This report provides a broad overview and perspective on Singaporeans' health status assessment using a multi-attribute health status classification system (MAHSC), developed by Torrance et al. in Canada. Each respondent's health profile is defined by eight attributes, namely vision, hearing, speech, cognition, feelings, pain, dexterity and walking. Subsequently, inferences are drawn from the analysis of the interrelationship between the health attributes and demographic factors. There is a strong indicator that age has a significant effect on health status. In general, the respondents report little or no deficiency for most of the health attributes and this translates into general good health for the entire population.
