Abstract

Background: Academic burnout among Malaysian undergraduates is a rising concern, driven by academic pressure and compounded by lifestyle and behavioural factors. This study aimed to examine the associations between academic burnout, sleep quality, physical activity, and social media addiction. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 382 undergraduate students was conducted using an online survey to collect the data. The chi-square test was used to assess bivariate associations, and multivariable logistic regression was employed to identify independent predictors of academic burnout. Results: The majority of respondents were aged 21 to 23 years (59.7%) and female (60.7%). Overall, 56.0% of respondents experienced academic burnout, with poor sleep quality highly prevalent (90.1%), 52.4% classified as minimally active, and 92.9% not meeting the criteria for social media addiction. Sleep quality was significantly associated with academic burnout in both the bivariate chi-square analysis (p = 0.030) and logistic regression analysis (p = 0.039). No significant associations were found between physical activity or social media addiction with academic burnout. Conclusions: Poor sleep quality and a minimally active level of physical activity were prevalent among university students, with sleep quality showed a significant association with academic burnout. Further research is needed to elucidate additional contributing factors and support the development of effective health promotion strategies in university settings.

Abstract

Background: The Malaysian Chinese population records the highest national prevalence of osteoporotic hip fractures. This study investigated the relationships between osteoporosis knowledge, health beliefs, and calcium intake among Malaysian Chinese adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 205 Malaysian Chinese adults in Kampar, Perak, using the adapted Osteoporosis Prevention and Awareness Tool (OPAAT), Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS), and a 30-item Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Results: Participants demonstrated low osteoporosis knowledge (6.84 ± 2.92), with low perceived susceptibility (14.87 ± 5.00), moderate perceived seriousness (17.81 ± 5.20), and barriers to calcium intake (15.61 ± 4.15), and high perceived benefits (22.73 ± 3.75) and health motivation (21.26 ± 3.84). The mean daily calcium intake was 530 ± 353.2 mg/day, with only 12% of participants achieving adequate intake. Knowledge of osteoporosis was significantly correlated with almost all health belief domains. Several statistically significant correlations were observed among the OHBS domains, and calcium intake was correlated with age (r = 0.181), osteoporosis knowledge (r = 0.141), perceived benefits (r = 0.177), perceived barriers (r = −0.240), and health motivation (r = 0.176). Conclusion: Strategies that improve osteoporosis awareness, strengthen health motivation, and reduce practical dietary barriers may support healthier calcium-intake behaviors among Malaysian Chinese adults.
