The Effects of Forest Bathing on the Cognition and Mental Health of Malaysian Senior Citizens
Forest bathing is a promising nature-based intervention that may support psychological and cognitive health in later life. This study examined the effects of a six-month intervention, in which forest bathing was operationalised as a group-based forest walking intervention, on cognitive and psychological health in older Malaysian adults. A total of 120 participants aged 60 years and above were randomised to a forest walk, city walk, or passive con…

This study provided rich details on the complex picture of the COVID-19 immunization program in Malaysia and its impact on vaccine hesitancy and refusal. The inter-related and incongruent factors explained the operational difficulty and complexity of the NIP and the design of an effective health communication campaign. Identified gaps such as logistical implementation and communication strategies should be noted by policymakers in implementing mi…
Knowledge on the action to be taken and recognition of symptoms of stroke in a community
The overall knowledge of stroke in our study population was good. Older age, being Malay, non-smokers, hypertensives and diabetics are determinants of right actions to be taken during stroke. Meanwhile, older age, being Malay, hypertensive and those who had a previous history of stroke are determinants of good recognition of stroke symptoms
FEV1 and total Cardiovascular mortality and morbidity over an 18 years follow-up Population-Based Prospective Epic-Norfolk Study
Participants with higher FEV1 levels had a lower risk of CVD and all-cause mortality. Measuring the FEV1 with a portable handheld spirometry measurement may be used as a surrogate marker for cardiovascular risk. Every effort should be made to identify those with poorer lung function even in the absence of cardiovascular disease as they are at greater risk of total and CV mortality
