Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Physical inactive has been reported to be associated with non-communicable disease (NCDs). However, the findings are inconclusive where as some studies have done on association between physical inactive with risk factor of NCDs but not on undiagnosed NCDs. Therefore, this study to investigated the relationship between physical inactive and undiagnosed diabetes, undiagnosed hypertension and undiagnosed hypercholesterolemia among the Malaysian adults without chronic diseases.
METHODOLOGY: In this present study, we utilized the secondary data from the National Health & Morbidity Survey 2015, a nationally representative population-based survey. A total of 13,782 respondent without chronic diseases aged 18 years old and above were analysed. Descriptive and multiple logistic regression were employed to determine association between physical activity and undiagnosed diabetes, undiagnosed hypertension and undiagnosed hypercholesterolemia.
RESULTS: The overall prevalence of Malaysian adults who were physically inactive was 32.3% (95% CI: 31.1%, 33.5%); where the prevalence of female who were inactive 36.8% (95% CI: 35.1%, 38.5%), whilst 27.9% (95% CI: 26.4%, 29.6%) was male. Our data further demonstrated the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes, undiagnosed hypertension and undiagnosed hypercholesterolemia were 5.8% (95% CI: 5.1%, 6.7%), 12.9% (95% CI: 11.9%, 14.0%) and 37.2% (95% CI: 35.8%, 38.8%) respectively. Multivariable analysis did not show any significant association between physical inactive with undiagnosed NCDs among the Malaysian adults. CONCLUSION: Although physical activity is suggested as one of the modifiable lifestyle factors associated with non-communicable diseases, including diabetes, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, however, we did not observe any association in this present study. Future cohort study to investigate the individuals who were not physically active is needed to validate the findings from this study.
