Abstract: These microplastics (MPs) have been identified as concerning pollutants due to their presence being documented in several human biological matrices, including blood, placenta, lung tissue, feces, and more recently, semen. This study is the first systematic research in Malaysia to assess the presence of MPs in male semen and their relationship with semen quality.

Abstract: This study aims to develop a Patient-Centered Care (PCC) framework model to tackle challenges and improve the effectiveness of early breast cancer detection in Malaysia. The study uses a retrospective trend analysis design based on secondary data from the LPPKN Mammogram Screening Program over a 5-year period from 2020 to 2024, involving women aged 35 to 70. Analysis was conducted to identify participation patterns, implementation gaps, sociodemographic factors, as well as the effectiveness of screening and early breast cancer detection. Based on the findings, a PCC framework was developed covering four main domains: service accessibility and availability, patient engagement and empowerment, sociodemographic context, and continuity and coordination of care. This framework provides an evidence-based strategic approach to increase screening participation, strengthen follow-up compliance, and promote early cancer detection. Overall, this study contributes to the improvement of a more inclusive, responsive, and effective national screening system in enhancing women's health outcomes in Malaysia.

Abstract: The decline in birth and fertility rates in Malaysia has happened alongside the rapid development of reproductive technology. Innovations like IVF, ICSI, and egg freezing provide opportunities to address fertility issues, but they also raise questions about ethics, consent, lineage, and the legitimacy of children. This presentation looks at these developments from demographic, medical, shariah, and Malaysian family law perspectives. Johor's demographic transformation requires integrating reproductive innovations, protecting lineage, and supporting families to ensure community well-being in the digital era.

Choosing not to mother? childfree and childless women and their contribution to fertility decline in Malaysia
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 16/05/2026
Abstract: In Malaysia, the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has declined to 1.6 births per woman (2024), which is below the replacement level of 2.1. Over the past decade, the world has experienced significant demographic and cultural changes, particularly in family structures, including declining fertility rates and shifting norms around marriage. Globally, there is a growing trend of individuals choosing not to have children – not due to infertility or delayed marriage, but based on personal choice. This study aims to explore the contribution of childfree and childless women to fertility decline in Malaysia. The findings show that childfree and childless women experience non-motherhood differently, with childfree women often associating it with autonomy and emotional fulfilment, while childless women experience greater emotional vulnerability and social pressure.
