Breast cancer is the most common among Malaysian women. Other than hospital-based results, there are no documented population-based survival rates of women for breast cancers. This populationbased retrospective cohort study was therefore conducted. Data were obtained from Health Informatics Centre, Ministry Malaysia, National Cancer Registry and Registration Department period <TEX>$1^{st}$</TEX> January 2000 to <TEX>$31^{st}$</TEX> December 2005.

Understanding different patterns of fish consumption is an important component for risk assessment contaminants in fish. A few studies on food had been conducted Malaysia, but none them focused specifically consumption. The objectives this study were to document the meal pattern among three major ethnics Malaysia with respect fish/seafood consumption, identify most frequently consumed and cooking method, examine influence demographic factors subjects.A cross-sectional survey was between...
This study was conducted to determine the concentration of total mercury in edible portion 46 species marine fish (n = 297) collected from selected major landing ports and wholesale markets throughout Peninsular Malaysia. Samples were June December 2009. Prior analysis, samples processed which consisted drying at 65 °C until a constant weight attained; then, it grounded digested by microwave digestion system. The analytical determination carried out using analysis Total among examined....
Environmental factors have been associated with adverse health effects in epidemiological studies. The main exposure variable is usually determined via prior knowledge or statistical methods. It may be challenging when evidence scarce to support knowledge, address collinearity issues using This study aimed investigate the importance level of environmental variables for under-five mortality Malaysia random forest approach.We applied a conditional permutation (CPI-RF) approach evaluate...
Delay in seeking treatment for breast cancer is a barrier to the early diagnosis and management of disease, resulting poorer prognosis. We here estimated prevalence delayed presentation identified possible influential sociodemographic factors cross-sectional study 250 patients diagnosed with primary at Radiotherapy Oncology Clinic Kuala Lumpur Hospital. Data were collected by face-to-face interview using structured questionnaire from medical records. examined associations between (presenting...
We aimed to reparameterize and validate an existing dengue model, comprising entomological component (CIMSiM) a disease (DENSiM) for application in Malaysia. With the model we measure effect of importation rate on incidence, determine potential impact moderate climate change (a 1 °C temperature increase) activity. Dengue models (comprising CIMSiM DENSiM) were reparameterized simulated Malaysian village 10 000 people, validated against monthly case data from district Petaling Jaya state...
Fish consumption is one of the primary sources protein in Malaysia. However, harmful substances, including heavy metals released from anthropogenic may accumulate marine organisms through food chain. Hence, human health risks occur fish contaminated by metals. This study was conducted to determine concentrations and assess edible tissues 296 commonly consumed throughout Peninsular The samples were collected selected major landing ports paper focused on nine namely selenium (Se), cadmium...
Introduction: Work ability is the relationship between a person’s personality, health, lifestyle, and employment-related factors. There are, however, few studies evaluating variables linked to school teachers’ work ability. The purpose of this study was assess factors that affect it. Methods: A cross-sectional secondary teachers carried out. Sociodemographic characteristics, physical activity, body mass index, low back pain (LBP), psychological factors, work-related health-related quality...
This study is an attempt to investigate climate-induced increases in morbidity rates of food poisoning cases. Monthly cases, average monthly meteorological data, and population data from 2004 2014 were obtained the Malaysian Ministry Health, Meteorological Department, Department Statistics Malaysia, respectively. Poisson generalised linear models developed assess association between climatic parameters number reported The findings revealed that incidence Malaysia during 11 years period was...
The concentration of meHg in freshwater fish and seafood was investigated, as well the consumption patterns by different demographic groups (age, ethnicity, gender). A potential alarm for human health hazards also assessed, results were compared to provisional tolerable weekly intakes (PTWIs) hazard quotient parameter (HQ). showed that levels 67 species ranged from 0.013 0.252 mg/kg wet weight (WW) with significant differences between (χ2KW = 49.09; p < 0.001). Median concentrations...
Depression, anxiety, and stress (DAS) among adolescents have become a public health concern. The aim of this study was to develop, implement, measure an IMB-based education intervention module for reducing DAS in boarding schools the state Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. A single-blinded cluster randomised control trial (RCT) conducted students with abnormal DASS-21 scores. They were divided into group (three schools, 62 participants) 57 participants). Participants received education, while...
Dental amalgam in fillings exposes workers to mercury. The exposure mercury was investigated among 1871 dental health care workers. aim of the study evaluate risk compared nondental and determine other factors for exposure. Respondents answered questionnaires obtain demographic, personal, professional, workplace information were examined their own fillings. Chronic assessed through urinary levels. In total, 1409 462 participated study. Median urine levels 2.75 μg/L (interquartile range [IQR]...
Time series analysis and forecasting has become a major tool in many applications air pollution environmental management fields. Among the most effective approaches for analyzing time data is model introduced by Box Jenkins. In this study, we used Box-Jenkins methodology to build Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) on average of monthly ozone taken from three monitoring stations Klang Valley period 2000 2010 with total 132 readings. Result shows that ARIMA (1,0,0)(0,1,1)12 was...
