TL;DR: The levels of PA were inversely related to the risk of overweight/obesity in men but not in women, and programs designed to reduce overweight/OBesity rates should encourage the practice of moderate- to vigorous-intensity PA.

TL;DR: This study indicates that several unhealthy lifestyle behaviours and chronic diseases are significantly associated with poor SRH among Malaysian adults and effective public health strategies are needed to promote healthy lifestyles and disease prevention interventions should be enhanced at the community level to improve overall health.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-stage stratified sampling method was used to select a representative sample of Malaysian adults aged 16 years and above, and face-to-face interviews were conducted using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), short version.

TL;DR: The present study demonstrated that the immunization coverage of 86.4% is still unsatisfactory, and the current intervention program should be enhanced in order to achieve the 95% coverage for all antigens in the national vaccination program.

TL;DR: A significant negative association was observed between PA level and blood glucose only and future studies should employ an objective measurement in estimating PA level in order to elucidate the actual relationship between PA, hypertension and diabetes for the development of effective interventions to combat the increasing burden of premature-mortality and cardiovascular disease-related morbidity in Malaysia.
