Introduction: Obese adults have increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which can be estimated using Framingham risk score (FRS). Identifying the risk of developing CVD may reiterate the necessity of intensive intervention to reduce the ever-increasing burden of this disease. However, national data of FRS and its relationship wi

Introduction: Obese adults are associated with increased cardiometabolic risk (CMR). The study aims to investigate the prevalence of CMR factor abnormalities in obese adults in Kuantan. Methods: Seventy-six obese adults with a mean (standard deviation) age of 33.7 years (9.8 years) participated in this study. All participants had a waist circumfere

Obese adults are associated with increased cardiometabolic risk (CMR). The study aims to investigate the prevalence of CMR factor abnormalities in obese adults in Kuantan. Methods: Seventy-six obese adults with a mean (standard deviation) age of 33.7 years (9.8 years) participated in this study. All participants had a waist circumference (WC) measu

Obesity is an independent risk factor for dyslipidaemia. It is expected that lipid profile is improved following weight loss. In Malaysia, lifestyle modification intervention (LMI) has been a treatment modality for obesity since decades ago. However, the evidence of it’s effectiveness on promoting weight loss thus improving lipid profile among ob

This book presents the most necessary aspects for conducting research including Islamic perspectives on research. It is very suitable for research beginners and as well as experienced researchers to conduct research. The content of this book start from simple research definitions, literature review and its important outcomes, research designs, meth

Humans, including students, are partly responsible for rising levels of global warming through unsustainable computing practices. It is imperative that students participate in the global drive to reduce global warming through activities like green computing which advocates for sustainable use of computing resources to reduce energy consumption and

The enhancement of the critical heat flux (CHF) in saturated pool boiling of water-based nanofluid (containing TiO2 nanoparticles) by the attachment of a honeycomb porous plate (HPP) and a gridded metal structure (GMS) on a horizontal heated surface have been investigated experimentally. The honeycomb porous plate attached to the heated surface enh

The Oxford Dictionary3 defines 'remedy' as a medicine or treatment for a disease or injury but in the legal sense, it is a means of achieving justice in any matter in which legal rights are involved. A legal or judicial remedy is the vehicle for a court of law - usually in exercising civil law jurisdiction -- to enforce a right, charge a pe

This paper is aimed at proposing an effective solution to enhance continuous power availability and to reduce the peak load demand in Kuwait electric grid system. The peak demand is made from solar renewable energy sources. The potential renewable energy as power generation sources in Kuwait has been studied and solar energy potential has been anal

Background: Breastfeeding is the common practice for women soon after birth. As early as the baby is born, the mother will start to have milk production and enhance lactation period post-delivery. Thus, the mother becomes naturally embrace with the needs of breastfeeding, even for the first time mother. However, men somehow shows lack of awareness
