摘要：AbstractThe current short review encompasses the currently available studies on intergenerational support in Malaysian elders. For the purpose 14 relevant and systematically selected documents are included in this review. Keyword search has been done with ResearchGate, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Scopus databases. The span of documents starts from 1997 to 2014. All the documents are read carefully and bifurcated into literature matrix for better comprehensibility. Further, themes and subthemes are made to categorize the findings. The overall conclusion exhibits that intergenerational support with its all variants positively affects the health of elderly in Malaysia. There is little or no study found directly linked with intergenerational social support among Malaysian old people living in institutional care. Future avenues and implications are also enclosed.
