Abstract
INTRODUCTION: In Malaysia, the incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)-associated risk factor such as diabetes, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia have increased significantly in the past 20 years. Smoking has been reported as one of the risk factors for diabetes, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. However, this was reported in the prevalence cases and little data is available for undiagnosed diabetes, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. Hence, we aimed to investigate the association between smoking and risk of undiagnosed diabetes, undiagnosed hypertension and undiagnosed hypercholesterolemia among the Malaysian adults.
METHODOLOGY: Data were obtained from the NHMS 2015, a national population-based survey. This study analysed the data from 12,871 Malaysian adults with unknown chronic diseases aged above 18 years who participated in the NHMS 2015. Multiple Logistic Regression was employed and odds ratios of exposure variables calculated after adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle risk factors to determine the association between smoking and undiagnosed diabetes, undiagnosed hypertension and undiagnosed hypercholesterolemia. RESULTS: The prevalence of smoking among undiagnosed diabetes, undiagnosed hypertension and undiagnosed hypercholesterolemia were 7.3%, 13.7% and % 37.0 % respectively. There was a significant association between smoking and risk of undiagnosed hypertension (adjusted OR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.147 - 1.863
