Abstract

With the current trend of increasing non-communicable diseases (NCD) of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia worldwide and in Malaysia, a comprehensive study is essential to find the local population's knowledge, attitude and practice toward NCD. Little is known about the indigenous people of Orang Asli’s health conditions and health-seeking behaviours towards these chronic diseases. The study aimed to assess knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) status towards non-communicable disease and its association with demographic background among Orang Asli adults of the Semelai subgroup in Central Pahang, Malaysia.
