Aim The epidemiological transition has resulted in a large population of adolescents in Malaysia, whose health burden is poorly described. We set out to provide a comprehensive profile of health in Malaysian adolescents to illustrate important targets for health actions. Methods A conceptual framework for reporting health and wellbeing of Malaysian adolescents was defined to measure health outcomes, health risks and sociocultural determinants.

Within and across areas of high deprivation, we explored constructions of masculinity in relation to sexual health and wellbeing, in what we believe to be the first UK study to take this approach. Our sample of 116 heterosexual men and women age 18–40 years took part in individual semi-structured interviews (n = 35) and focus group discussions (n = 18), across areas in Scotland. Drawing on a socio-ecological framework, findings revealed experience in places matter, with gender practices rooted in a domestically violent milieu, where localised, socio-cultural influences offered limited opportunities for more egalitarian performances of masculinity. We discuss the depths of the challenge in transforming masculinities in relation to sexual health and wellbeing in such communities.
