Malaysians are having cardiovascular diseases significantly earlier than those in other high-income nations, say medical experts tracking trends of non-communicable diseases.
The mean age of Malaysian cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients were from 56 to 59, which is about 10 years younger than those in advanced countries, who tend to exhibit CVDs between 63 and 68 years.
This is the data from the National Health and Morbidity Survey in 2019, or in the Covid-19 pre-pandemic period.
UM Medical Centre (UMMC) senior consultant cardiologist Datuk Prof Dr Wan Azman Wan Ahmad said this in a recent presentation for the media on the rising burden of CVDs in Malaysia organised by IQVIA Asia Pacific, a global health intelligence organisation.
