“…A study in China found that in 1990, the focus of female tobacco control was passive smoking, but in 2017, smoking and passive smoking became equally crucial for female tobacco control [ 38 ]. There is less research on risk factors for female-specific IHD, and related studies have found that passive smokers are more likely to develop IHD, so public health interventions and policy development targeting the female population are necessary [ 39 , 40 ]. We have observed that with the improvement of living conditions, modern individuals are more focused on present feelings, overlooking the various serious health consequences that smoking may bring.…”

IntroductionSmoking increases the risk of various cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic heart disease (IHD). This study aimed to assess the impact of age, period, and cohort on long-term trends in IHD mortality in China, India, Indonesia, the United States, and Russia, the five countries with the highest number of smokers, from 1990 to 2019.Material and methodsThe data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019, and the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) was calculated. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to assess the magnitude and direction of trends in smoking-attributable mortality from IHD. Age-period-cohort (APC) studies were used to estimate net drift (estimated annual percentage change (EAPC)s), local drift (age-specific EAPCs), and independent trends in age, period, and cohort effects.ResultsThe analysis revealed a significant downward trend in ASMRs attributable to IHD as a result of smoking in the United States, India, and Russia. Indonesia and China showed an upward trend. Age effects were increasing for both country and sex, with China showing the most significant increase in the older age group; period effects were decreasing in all countries except Indonesia, and cohort effects were increasing only in Indonesia and China.ConclusionsFrom 1990 to 2019, mortality from IHD caused by smoking showed a downward trend in these five countries. However, the pattern of increased mortality from IHD in women caused by smoking warrants further study.

“…II: Non-Communicable Diseases, Risk Factors & Other Health Problems;2015," 2015 The obesity issue is associated with type II diabetes and a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome. (Rashid et al, 2019), (Ahmed et al, 2019) The prevalence of overweight and obesity among university student groups has risen due to the hectic lifestyle of long working hours and eating out frequently in Malaysia. (Eow et al, 2018) (Al-Naggar et al, 2013 The obesity issue among Malaysian university students will also keep increasing rapidly.…”

A Review of Problem and Approaches to the University Students in Malaysia Toward Using Wearable Fitness Technology

Wearable fitness technology (WFT) is a device worn physically on the human wrist to track body activity through the calculation of one's heart rate and calories burned from the number of footsteps walked. Users of WFT utilise the device for the monitoring of body fitness. As WFT devices are popularly owned, the adoptive behaviour needed further understanding. Therefore, the attempt to extend the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) with additional determinants retrieved from aesthetics appeal would further examine the use of WFT. A recent study of Malaysian University students found that the general prevalence of university students' obesity is higher than in other Asia countries. This study focuses on investigating Malaysian university students' adoptive behaviour and factors contributing to sustained use of WFT. The use of UTAUT2 with aesthetics appeal perceived the outcome of students' physical health as the significant result in relation to adoptive behaviour and sustained use of WFT. Problem confronting by the country of university students’ obesity must be addressed meticulously. Shaping the future of healthy lifestyle and self-care advocacy is essential through the assistant of technology.

“…In Malaysia, several studies on CHD risk factors have been conducted, however, the findings were inconclusive and contradicting between studies (12,13). Moreover, it is noteworthy that dietary factors have not been adequately examined in the previous studies.…”

Introduction: This study aimed to determine the risk factors of CHD among the Malaysian adult population. Methods: Using a cross- sectional observational study design, this study involved 365 adult patients aged between 30-64 years, attending clinics from eight government hospitals and four health clinics in Terengganu, Pahang, Selangor, Putrajaya, Penang, Kedah, Johor and Sabah from February 2018 until September 2020. Sociodemographic characteristics, clinical and dietary data, physical activity and stress level were recorded using a structured questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyse CHD risk factors. Results: The overall response rate was 99.2%. The adjusted odds ratio of CHD was greater for age (AOR; [%95 CI]) (1.043;[ 1.009,1.078]); waist circumference (1.033;[1.009, 1.057]); total fat intake (1.035;[1.021, 1.050]); full cream dairy products intake (1.004;[1.001, 1.008]); smokers vs non-smokers (4.691;[2.399, 9.176]); individual with family history of CHD vs without family history (2.705;[ 1.496, 4.891]); married vs single (0.434;[ 0.217,0.867]); and lower for HDL cholesterol (0.185;[0.052, 0.662]); Chinese vs Malays (10.619;[ 2.255, 49.995]); and third lowest income (0.197;[ 0.073, 0.532]) and forth lowest income (0.167;[ 0.056, 0.499]) vs lowest income. Conclusion: Age, race, income, smoking and marital status, family history of CHD, waist circumference, HDL cholesterol, total fat intake, full cream dairy products intake were significantly associated with CHD among this population. This finding is particularly important to the primary health carers to identify at-risk CHD individuals thus appropriate intervention could be provided.
