Heart disease is often thought to be an older person’s problem, but in fact, it can affect anyone. More and more young people are diagnosed everyday, as well as women who have risk factors. According to Deputy Health Minister Dr Lee Boon Chye, deaths from heart disease increase every year, with 50 people dying from the health condition daily. Hence, it is the leading cause of ‘sudden death’ in Malaysia.
However, many people seem to be not bothered with the issues and neglect their health literacy. For your information, health literacy is the ability of an individual to obtain, process and understand their basic health information and services. It helps people to make appropriate health decisions and promote good health.
