Abstract: The issue of dementia is not a new matter, but if it is not managed, it can affect the health of the population and subsequently lead to increased dementia treatment costs. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between a healthy lifestyle and the risk of dementia among the elderly in the northern zone as a preparation for the aging nation in 2030. The study findings show that the majority of the elderly face chronic health problems and rely on caregivers. The results also found that the effects of a healthy lifestyle and social well-being can reduce the risk of dementia. Thus, to ensure the well-being of the elderly is maintained and to reduce dementia problems among them, the development of inclusive community programs, increasing health literacy, as well as physical, mental, and social well-being programs to maintain the quality of life need to be carried out. Cooperation from various parties is very important to ensuring that the quality of life for the elderly is maintained.

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.

Item Type: Scientific Poster
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: Population growth has intensified the nation’s vulnerability to the health impacts of climate change. The demand for water, food, energy, and healthcare services increases as the population increases, placing pressure on natural resources and infrastructure. Climate change resulted in increased prevalence of vector-borne diseases (e.g., dengue and malaria), water- and food-borne infections, respiratory diseases associated with air pollution and haze, and heat-related morbidity and mortality, thus increase the demand for healthcare services. Conclusion, population growth intensifies vulnerability to climate-related health impacts, placing greater demands on public health systems. Strengthening adaption strategies, enhance surveillance system, and intersectoral collaboration is essential to ensure a resilient health system capable of protecting communities in a changing climate.

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
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
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.

Editor:
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).
