Prevalence and associated factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) among manufacturing workers in Malaysia: a secondary data analysis of NODiP 2023-2025
Item Type: Scientific Poster

Abstract: WRMSDs are a major global occupational health issue, causing 159M YLDs and 162M DALYs (2021). In Malaysia, MSDs contribute 86,340 YLDs and 112,378 DALYs, yet remain underreported despite being the second most common occupational disease. The manufacturing sector (23% of GDP) accounts for 40.4% of WRMSDs cases, driven by awkward posture, static loading, force exertion, and repetitive tasks. Global prevalence ranges 25-46% commonly affecting the shoulders, back, neck, and wrists. The objectives of this study are to determine the prevalence of WRMSDs among manufacturing workers in Malaysia and to identify individual, occupational biomechanical, and organisational factors associated with WRMSDs. Conlcusion, WRMSDs affected 8,7% of manufacturing workers, with force exertion, static posture, and limited OSH information emerging as key modifiable risks. Strengthening ergonomic controls and OSH comuunication, supported by improved national surveillance systems, is essential to reduce the WRMSDs burden in Malaysia’s manufacturing sector.

Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item

Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: The PEKERTI program was introduced by the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) through the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) starting in 2009. Its main purpose is to produce individuals who are knowledgeable and have positive attitudes in reproductive and social health aspects. The National Reproductive and Social Health Education Policy and Action Plan (PEKERTI) 2022-2025 has improved the PEKERTI program until introducing the National PEKERTI program in 2025. The objective of the study is to measure the effectiveness of the program using the 4-stage Kirkpatrick Model. In conclusion, the program is effective in increasing knowledge, confidence, and commitment, but the effect is still moderate. Future focus is to increase involvement, satisfaction and interactive activities for better learning effects. Follow-up interventions after the program can close the gap between knowledge and practice (confidence & commitment).

Perubahan demografi Pulau Pinang dengan penurunan orang muda dan peningkatan warga emas: impak terhadap sosioekonomi Pulau Pinang
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item

Abstract: Population aging is a global phenomenon in which the number of elderly people contributes to a large part of the total population of a country. This scenario will occur when the birth rate decreases, the mortality rate stabilizes in line with advancements in healthcare services, and consequently, the life expectancy of the population in a country increases. Globally, we have reached an aging society where the growth of the elderly population exceeds that of the working-age population. An aging population impacts the reduction of productive labor; changes in the economic structure; increased government financial expenditure; pressure on the healthcare system; changes in social and demographic structures; and the preservation of culture and traditions.
