Abstract

This study examines the prevalence of overweight and obesity and determines the association between nutrition-related Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) and obesity among deaf adults from low-income households in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Using purposive sampling, 120 deaf adults from three community centres participated in this cross-sectional study. Anthropometric measurements and sociodemographic data were taken along with information on nutritionrelated KAP were collected via a validated questionnaire with assistance from a certified Malaysian sign language interpreter. The average age of participants was 43.1±10.5 years, with a majority being female, Malay, and educated at the secondary level. Overweight and obesity prevalence reached 58.3%. Mean scores for nutrition-related KAP were 53.1±17.5, 4.2±1.7, and 7.4±2.2, respectively. Lower scores in healthy eating practices were significantly associated with higher odds of obesity after adjusting for age, ethnicity, education years, waist-to-hip ratio and body fat percentage (OR=0.73; 95% CI: 0.55‒0.97; p<0.05). Poor eating practices are associated with obesity among deaf adults. A targeted nutrition education initiative addressing the specific needs of this population is essential to reduce obesity risks.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine entrepreneurship intention, the factors that influence it, and the mediation effect of entrepreneurship education among undergraduate dietetics students in Malaysia. This cross-sectional study used a purposive sampling method and was conducted online among 221 Malaysian dietetics students from eight Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Malaysia. The validated questionnaire contained 30 items with 5 domains: attitude towards entrepreneurship, perceived behaviour control, entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurship intention, and self-efficacy. Descriptive analysis, Spearman's rho non-parametric test, and mediation analysis were performed to examine the relationships among the variables and the potential mediating effects. This study found positive and significant relationships between entrepreneurial attitude, perceived behaviour control, entrepreneurship education, self-efficacy, and entrepreneurship intention (p<0.001). Furthermore, entrepreneurial education partially mediates the link between entrepreneurial attitude, self-efficacy, and perceived behaviour control toward entrepreneurship intention. This study suggests the incorporation of an entrepreneurship education program into the curriculum and the encouragement of entrepreneurial activities among dietetics students in higher education institutions in Malaysia.
