Prognostic factors for premature cardiovascular disease mortality in Malaysia: a modelling approach using semi-parametric and parametric survival analysis with national health and morbidity survey linked mortality data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of premature mortality worldwide. Despite existing research on CVD risk factors, the study of premature CVD mortality in Malaysia remains limited. This study employs survival analysis to model modifiable risk factors associated with premature CVD mortality among Malaysian adults.

Method

We utilised data from Malaysia's National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) conducted in 2006, 2011, and 2015, linked with mortality records. The cohort comprised individuals aged 18 to 70 during the NHMS interview. Follow-up extended to 2021, focusing on CVD-related premature mortality between ages 30 and 70. We employed six survival models: a semi-parametric Cox proportional hazard (PH) and five parametric survival models, which
