Dismantling structural inequities in global prevention of childhood and adolescent non-communicable diseases
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for a growing proportion of morbidity and disability among children and adolescents worldwide. Contemporary NCD preventive strategies are predominantly adult-centric, resulting in delayed prevention and widening inequities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This neglect reflects a deeper structural and ethical failure, sustained by fragmented financing, siloed governance, commercial determi…
Setting research priorities for global pandemic preparedness
Background: In this priority-setting exercise, we sought to identify leading research priorities needed for strengthening future pandemic preparedness and response across countries. Methods: The International Society of Global Health (ISoGH) used the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) method to identify research priorities for future pandemic preparedness. Eighty experts in global health, translational and clinical research id…
The Mediating Role of Familial Support and Religiosity on Youths’ Mental Health and Illicit Drug Use
Although the extent of illicit drug use (IDU) among youths is alarming, there are only a handful of mechanisms that explain the pathway-interactions between IDU and mental health (MH). As such, the present study examines the mediating effects of familial support (FS) and religiosity (R) on IDU among Malaysian youths. Between January 2020 and July 2021, a nationwide interviewer administered face-to-face cross-sectional survey was conducted among 9…
Spatial Dynamics and Multiscale Regression Modelling of Population Level Indicators for Covid-19 Spread in Malaysia
As COVID-19 dispersion occurs at different levels of gradients across geographies, the application of spatiotemporal science via computational methods can provide valuable insights to direct available resources and targeted interventions for transmission control. This ecological-correlation study evaluates the spatial dispersion of COVID-19 and its temporal relationships with crucial demographic and socioeconomic determinants in Malaysia, utilizi…
Factors Associated with Health-Related Quality of Life amongst Employees in a Malaysian Public University
The current academic landscape has overwhelmed faculties and with demands to adopt tech-savvy teaching modes and accelerate scholarly works, administrative duties, and outreach programs. Such demands have deteriorated the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among university employees. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with HRQoL among university employees in a Malaysian public university. This cross-sectional study was condu…
Cost-Effectiveness of Colorectal Cancer Genetic Testing
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Approximately 3-5% of CRCs are associated with hereditary cancer syndromes. Individuals who harbor germline mutations are at an increased risk of developing early onset CRC, as well as extracolonic tumors. Genetic testing can identify genes that cause these syndromes. Early detection could facilitate the initiation of targeted prevention strategies and su…
Mapping the Scientific Landscape of Diabetes Research in Malaysia (2000–2018)
The escalated burden of diabetes on the population's health has catalyzed rigorous scientific research to produce appropriate evidence for treatment and control. Malaysia suffers from the leading diabetes epidemic within the Western Pacific region. It is crucial to map the scientific landscape of diabetes research for the country to identify trends in productivity and determine whether research efforts are directed toward the needs-gaps priority …
Perceived Symptoms of Depression, Anxiety and Stress amongst Staff in a Malaysian Public University
Mental health conditions are a major part of workers' health that predisposes to poor self-motivation for sustaining productivity. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among staff in a Malaysian public university and its associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 459 staff from the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) between April and June 2019. A questionnaire that consisted of…
Influence of Population Density for Covid-19 Spread in Malaysia
The rapid transmission of highly contagious infectious diseases within communities can yield potential hotspots or clusters across geographies. For COVID-19, the impact of population density on transmission models demonstrates mixed findings. This study aims to determine the correlations between population density, clusters, and COVID-19 incidence across districts and regions in Malaysia. This countrywide ecological study was conducted between 22…
Spirituality Needs in Chronic Pain Patients
Covid-19 in Malaysia
Exploration of risk taking behaviors and perceived susceptibility of colorectal cancer among Malaysian adults
The present study revealed that screening behavior among respondents was unsatisfactory. Hence, awareness of the importance of screening to prevent colorectal cancers is imperative
