Health advocacy training in undergraduate medical education over 20 years
INTRODUCTION: Health advocacy is recognised globally as a core physician competency yet remains one of the most challenging domains to teach, assess, and evaluate. Despite regulatory emphasis, integration into undergraduate medical curricula is inconsistent and poorly aligned with professional frameworks. This review maps and critically analyses how health advocacy has been conceptualised, implemented, and assessed in undergraduate medical educat…
Determinants of active aging and quality of life among older adults
Evaluating the Extent of Participation of People Living With Dementia in Research
Most research about dementia consults with carers, community workers, nurses or other health professionals, but rarely with people living with dementia (PLWD). This paper investigates why this is the case and documents the extent to which dementia research includes those with lived experience. We searched for studies reported in academic articles focussing on dementia that described using participatory methods. Approximately half of the studies w…
The economic burden of dementia in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)
Online Multi-Domain Geriatric Health Screening in Urban Community Dwelling Older Malaysians
Introduction: With a rapidly aging population, the Malaysian health care system needs to develop solutions to address the lack of resources that are required for the assessment of the older person. The complex nature of geriatric syndromes coupled with the occurrence of multiple comorbid illnesses with aging, make geriatric assessment a resource intensive process. Digital health solutions could play an important role in supporting existing health…
Challenges and Research Priorities for Dementia Care in Malaysia from the Perspective of Health and Allied Health Professionals
Few studies to date have evaluated dementia care in Malaysia, and the focus of studies has primarily been on epidemiological and laboratory research. In this study, we aimed to identify potential challenges for the delivery of dementia care in Malaysia and priorities for research and enhancing existing dementia care. This study used thematic analysis to evaluate the open and focus group workshop discussions guided by semi-structured questions. Tr…
Breast Cancer Screening in Semi-Rural Malaysia
Breast cancer (BC) is the commonest cancer in Malaysia. Delayed diagnosis is a significant cause of BC mortality in the country. Early diagnosis and screening are vital strategies in mortality reduction. This study assessed the level of utilisation and barriers for breast self-examination (BSE), clinical breast examination (CBE) and mammogram in a semi-rural population in Malaysia and compared these across the different ethnic groups. This cross-…
Tackling dementia globally
ementia is a costly neurodegenerative disease that affects 47 million people worldwide. This figure is predicted to rise to 75 million by 2030 and 132 million by 2050 Currently, the majority of people (approximately 63%) living with dementia are in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) and due to their large rapidly ageing populations, this number is going to continue to grow. For example, the Global Health Epidemiology Reference Group (GHERG) …
Single, community-based blood glucose readings may be a viable alternative for community surveillance of HbA 1c and poor glycaemic control in people with known diabetes in resource-poor settings
BACKGROUND: The term HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) is commonly used in relation to diabetes mellitus. The measure gives an indication of the average blood sugar levels over a period of weeks or months prior to testing. For most low- and middle-income countries HbA1c measurement in community surveillance is prohibitively expensive. A question arises about the possibility of using a single blood glucose measure for estimating HbA1c and therefore ide…
